Episode #62: Karin Avi of Motion Haifa - Reading between Black and White

@karin.avi, Karin Bensabat comes on for the latest episode of the Passive Hang!

Karin is the founder of @motion.haifa, a movement school based in Haifa, Israel. When you jump on the @motion.haifa page you will see a large and engaged community doing all sorts of wonderful and interesting training. So who is Karin and what’s her story? Karin shares how she grew up, became interested in Capoeira during high school and then joined the local group. The only thing was, the local group’s teacher was someone by the name of Ido. Karin is now a teacher, and we hear how Motion Haifa began humble beginnings to how Karin eventually built her own gym (with her own hands!). 

A longtime practitioner, Karin shares her views on practice, particularly on mindset, goal setting, and making your own decisions. “I’m not a big believer in black and white.” Karin continues to challenge herself in new areas, such as basketball and surfing, and we hear how she applies the developed practitioner sense into these fields. 

Very thankful for Karin’s time. She is developing an offer for online coaching via www.motion-haifa.com so anyone not in Israel, can also learn her approach. Otherwise you can catch her in class in Haifa!
