Show Notes

Emmet Louis is a mobility and flexibility coach, host of multiple podcasts and former acrobat/circus performer.

In Conversation #82, Emmet and I discuss: funny childhood and acrobatic stories, why he doesn't use social media much, noteworthy experiences he has had coaching people, particular details about injuries and the one-arm handstand, rules of thumb regarding training philosophy and why Eastern religions can be appealing but misunderstood by westerners.

As always, I hope you enjoy. Kyrin out!
