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 [...] Matt on a Wildfitness course in Crete It’s cool (and rare unfortunately!) when a journalist “gets it”. So often journalists who cover Wildfitness can’t seem to stay away from the fitness clichés… playing up how tough the training is and focussing on how skinny they got. So it was a nice relief to read the great coverage [...] After watching Avatar, I have found the imagined planet of Pandora and the way the Na’vi tribe live on it absolutely inspiring. People say to me ‘Tara – it’s not actually true you know!’. But, I think much of it could be. The Wildfitness philosophy draws wisdom from how hunter-gatherers / tribal societies live.

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 [...] Following our post “What is a Wild Goal?” we had a good question from ‘The Barefoot Sensei’ who asked – “define what you mean by wild?”. Tara’s reponse is below and we thought it worth sharing with everyone to start the debate – what is your definition of wild? FROM TARA: Redefining fitness Why do you want to be fit? What’s your motivation? What does “fitness” really mean anyway? Each person that joins a Wildfitness course will have their own aspirations and ideas about fitness. Maybe they want to be more energised or to get bigger muscles, to drop a dress size or to train for a [...] |
