2:29:10"It Changes You" Controversial Trainer on Ancient Tool to Unlock Human Potential | Ido Portal
Ido Portal, the movement teacher who trained Conor McGregor and now works with Christian McCaffrey, spends two and a half hours with Danny Jones taking apart most of what the fitness world sells. He argues against flow state as a goal, against belly breathing, against stretching a stubbornly tight hamstring, against modern postural yoga as anything ancient, and against genetics as the interesting question. In their place he puts one word, practice, defined so widely it swallows religion, evolution and daily life, and one skill, observing yourself without trying to change anything. He also describes what he actually does with NFL players: connective tissue work, peripheral vision drills, blindfolded spatial mapping on a tennis court, Borges and mathematics, and daily seated meditation.
