#23 How is your movement vocabulary built? The deep squat’s example.
While many people have trouble squatting, people from some cultures and demographics seem to find it easy and comfortable.
Is the deep squat impossible for me because I am from a different culture and background? Is it possible but it will take time? Is it possible but it will take generations? Tomislav English, a mover and researcher - who in 2015 founded Ferus Animi //Terra Nova movement research - will answer these questions by taking us through anthropological, cultural, biomechanical and philosophical knowledge and more.
