Ep 99: Your Environment Moves You

Katy Bowman and Dr. Ihi Heke talk about movement and indigenous approaches to health, including Heke's Maori framework--that our relationship with where we’re born and where we live has implications for our health. This wide-ranging and fascinating conversation also explores non-person-centric approaches to health, and the idea that exercise depends on a cultural context. Dr. Heke explains what it means to be a river person, and how that has shaped how he lives. Plus, Katy answers listener questions on running, minimal shoes, and plantar fasciitis, and swimming and alignment.Dr Ihi Heke’s mobile Wananga: https://www.facebook.com/TheMobileWananga/More about Dr Ihi Heke: https://www.arawanation.com/ihi
