Episode #64: Rod Cooper of The Movement Collective - My Current Practice Exposed

@rodjcooper, owner of @the_movement_collective comes on the Passive Hang! The Movement Collective is a movement gym in Newcastle, Australia. I’ve known Rod for a couple of years now, and the best way to describe him is that whenever you speak with Rod, you feel lifted, elevated, inspired. 

Rod shares his practice - what does it actually look like, now? Having learnt from many different teachers, and having such a diverse practice, it was interesting to hear how he structures his training time, and what things have worked for him. Rod covers different approaches to strength, mobility and skill development. 

It hasn’t been all smooth sailing - Rod has had his fair share of significant injuries - including serious knee trauma. We touch on his physical recovery, and how he approaches the mental side. When your job is movement, what do you do when you can’t move?

Thanks to Rod for sharing so openly. Can’t wait to get back to TMC and train in the space!

For all those who can’t get to Newcastle, TMC have just launched their online app, and Rod also offers online coaching. Check it out.
