This was a bit of a sensitive topic: We're fortunate to have the opinion of a transgender friend of mine to discuss his experience on testosterone, and thoughts on fairness in men & women's sport.



I may have misstepped in some of these comments: My goal is not to offend, but to outline the positions on both sides of the argument: the right for cisgender women to compete in a competitive sporting environment that is protected from male advantage, as well as the right to inclusion of transgender athletes. I'm keen to hear your thoughts below:

More people than ever before are trying to get onto the path of consciousness, but despite the willingness, most just don’t know where to start.



How can young conscious beings increase their awareness when they’ve never even been taught what meditation is, let alone the right way to do it?



We’re living in the information age, and that should mean everyone has access to the guidance they need. However, there’s simply too much information to sift through to get any real answers.



How can someone entirely new to the world of consciousness building tell if they’re accessing the right information?



In this episode, co-owner of Propane Fitness, Dr. Yusef Smith shares how to increase consciousness at a beginner’s level.



Three Takeaways



Why silence is the key to consciousnessWhen we’re forced to be alone with our thoughts, we begin to unpack each layer of our emotions. Sometimes we have to deprive our senses to truly connect with our minds.How our physical bodies are impacted by our thoughtsEvery thought and emotion has a physical counterpart in our bodies. The benefit of this is that we can recondition ourselves through both mental reorganization and by working directly with the body through stretch work, breathwork, and meditation.Why we need to stop looking for a quick fix to consciousnessWe wouldn’t expect to see massive results after a 6 minute workout, and we shouldn’t expect to be fully conscious after just one meditation. Consciousness takes commitment, and if we want to see full benefits from it we have to practice regularly.

…the absence of usually ever-present feelings of missing out on life, the crux upon which a prison sentence exerts its punishment. It did feel somewhat like the rest of the country had sunk to our level of existence, just with the trappings of Netflix and Deliveroo.  My former colleagues in the NHS being lauded as heroes, whilst I sat in prison a villain.











This week we have something a little different. I chat to Dr Tim Kerr with a fascinating story, drawing wisdom from prison life into modern living.



Tim has documented his incredible insights in his blog, inthedoc.wordpress.com which I would highly recommend checking out.



We cover:



His story, including how he was arrested while on shift at the hospitalRadical honesty and opennessMaking peace with your skeletonsWhat gyms are like in prisonLiving a monastic lifestyle in prisonWriting as therapyLessons from living in prison that apply to modern lifePlans for Tim’s future

Yusef and Jonny chat about what they actually each track, how tracking has changed over the years for them, processing the data and what really matters.

Most of us haven't been pushed into the splits by our coach from 5 years old. So is it too late to learn to move like an acrobat?



Yuri Marmerstein is an acrobat, handbalancer and adult learner, which sets him apart as a fantastic teacher. Unlike many gymnastics coaches, he recognises that adults have different needs and constraints too.



Also covering:



How to periodise gymnastics with bodybuildingHow to learn many skills at onceThe games your ego plays when you're learning new skillsWhere to start if you've never done this stuff beforeWhat flexibility and gymnastics can teach you about your emotional stateHow to use coaching and video feedback to accelerate your learningHow to learn any new skillWhat acting can teach you about your body
