Mindful Movement

Emily is a Senior at UT Dallas, studying Emerging Media and Communications. She is a parkour practitioner and advocate.

 

First exposed to parkour in 2008, Emily didn't believe parkour was for her. She thought that it was something only crazy, adrenaline junkies would do. Later on, she learned the philosophy of parkour and fell in love with physical mindfulness movement and meditation. In 2011 she began training, in 2013 she volunteered her time assisting in coaching Parkour In The Park, a free parkour class open to the DFW community. She's made it her mission to teach others the philosophy of parkour to help everyone earn the right and ability to learn how to move their own bodies in a safe environment.
