Biophilia – Love of Living Things Our food, our medicine, our energy, our water and our stuff all come from the earth. But also, we are directly and immediately affected by nature as soon as we come into contact with it. Even your die-hard city slicker will feel better after a walk outdoors with trees [...] Our personal health is intrinsically linked to that of the people around us. Looking at our individual health in isolation doesn’t make sense from a common sense, evolutionary or scientific point of view. Unless you live alone in a lighthouse. The common sense - When your flat mate has a cold – you’ll probably get it too. [...] Those who have been on a Wildfitness course in the past 6 months will know that our new favourite position is what we like to call “The Hunter-Gatherer Squat”. So what is it and why is it so very good? The common sense Squatting, the natural way to “sit”, is great for our bodies. It’s just a [...]
Exuberant Animal seminar in London Back in April Wildfitness hosted the first Exuberant Animal seminar in the UK and we got to hang out with one of our gurus, Frank Forencich. We played all day in the park and ended up feeling tired and elated at the end of the day.

We can learn how to use our breathing to gain powerful effects on the body: to switch us into a deeply calm state, to bring in more oxygen to our cells and to [...] The Freediving Two-Section Breath Up Hopefully you’re convinced of the benefits of breathing techniques (if not read our blog post Born to breath-hold? ), so here’s one to try. This is a technique recommended by Wildfitness Coach, Augusto, who is also a professional free-diving instructor. While it is a technique from free-diving, it is easy to master [...] We recently discovered that the Paleo diet (or caveman diet, Stone Age diet, hunter-gatherer diet or whatever else you want to call the approach to eating based on the presumed ancient diet of our ancestors during the Paleolithic era) has been qualified as a “fad diet” by the National Health Service of England and American [...] ??? Goji berries from South America, detox juice fasting, food pyramids, raw food only – how the heck do we know what to eat these days? At Wildfitness our filter is: what would a wild human eat? An agile, natural, instinctive, intelligent, wild human – in touch with nature – in harmony with nature? What do our [...] Our primate ancestors spent a lot of time hanging out in trees and swinging through the branches (what fun). There is actually an official term for this type of movement, in which the suspended body swings from one hold to another using only the arms (and momentum rather than muscle strength). It’s called brachiation. You [...] |
