Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Tara was brought up in Kenya where her family is from. She studied Biological Sciences at Oxford University before founding Wildfitness in 2000 at the age of 21.
Wildfitness began operating in Watamu, Kenya and since then has expanded to operate in Crete, Spain, The Isle of Wight and London. Tara continues to develop the Wildfitness courses and philosophy.
Tara practices many different 'Wild sports' including kite-surfing, surfing, free diving, parkour and rock climbing. Her love is developing her 'human potential' and the potential of her clients and staff. Tara looks to nature and our evolutionary origins to gain insight into how we should eat, move and live to get the most out of life. However, she believes that developing our own awareness and doing the things that make us feel challenged and alive are most important of all.
Tara's underlying intent for Wildfitness is to make sure that all stake holders (clients, staff, shareholders and the environment) are all well served by the business.
Tara has worked with the leading thinkers in natural and evolutionary fitness including Frank Forencich, Nicholas Romanov, Lee Saxby and Erwan Le Corre to develop the courses.
Tara delivers a 4 day Wildfitness Coaches' training event once or twice a year in UK and also speaks at corporate and fitness events. She is based between Kenya and London and is currently authoring the Wildfitness book.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
This is incredibly interesting and touches on thoughts that I a have had and discussed over the years... I think natural organic movement is so important....but people have been conditioned to be very stiff,rigid, and impotently in their movements and it takes its toll on the body and mind as time passes. One problem is that society reinforces negative movement patterns in daily activity...and people can be threatened or offended by natural movement. Also the physical environment --the tables,chairs doors, right angle movements, the height of counters and the movements we do at them are all unnatural and promote poor posture, angular rigid movements.
this is so very true on so many levels we've forgotten how important and how beneficial nature is to us on so many levels mind body and soul
Has this video caused any tangible effect in your day to day life? Was it merely interesting, or did it impact your life directly and profoundly? Legitimately asking, I really want to know.
Can I "double like" this one? You rock Tara, very well expressed.
This is brilliant! We all need a Tara Wood in our lives. So inspiring and such truth. Thank you for breaking us out of the sleepwalking world we live in.
I love this word: anti-fragile. Powerful!
...But we're all suffering together so we don't even realize we're suffering from the violence that is domestication
Absolutely.
You are SO PERCEPTIVE!
Two cave men huddleld aroudn a fire... "I don't understand, Ugh... we have fresh food, plenty of fresh air and exercise, but we still die young."
Did you see what happened AFTER you told diabetics to go off insulin?
Awesome
I remember thinking about this when I was growing up. great talk!!
Wow, inspirational! Thank you!
I lost it when I heard "barefoot running shoes" at about 8:35/8:40, unless I'm missing something, this is as genuine as a three-dollar note
So excited to see this. Movment>Medication - Nourishment>Nutrition - Being>Doing

Oxymoron: barefoot running shoes.

Walnuts and Chestnuts, freshly fallen, real water, from the rock. Soon, mushrooms. I keep coming back to la val de Vesera en Òccitan. Euskal Herria is just as good.
What about running horses on cement causing ringbone? Bad horseshoes?
Wonderful, Tara! WILDFITNESS saved my life - want to do it all again so I can notch up a few extra lives and be a wildcat and hound dog for ever
Fantastic Tara! I love every second of your message. Thank you.
Fantastic talk Tara! 9 days on the beach in Kenya with you and the Wild Fitness crew were the best!
