WHAT TO BRING & WEAR
We suggest that you wear loose, comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting a bit sweaty in, and a good pair of trainers. Lower drop soles will help you feel the movement of your foot and ankle better, although be prepared to work barefoot for some of the session too. Bringing water is also a good idea! It is advisable to bring food and snacks with you to the workshop, although there are shops nearby and in the Republic complex where you can purchase refreshments.

The course take place at our HQ, Parkour Generations at Republic. Our nearest transport links are East India and Blackwall DLR stops, each of which can be access from Canning Town (Jubilee Line) and Bank (Northern Line). Please ensure you arrive 5-10 mins before the event start time, for registration.

In Part 3 we’re focusing on the shoulder girdle, which will encompass issues of the shoulders themselves, the scapular, neck and upper limbs. Modern living sees us often in kyphotic positions for hours at a time; bent over desks, steering wheels and mobile phone screens. Add to this that most of us don’t know how to breathe properly and are therefore elevating the traps around 20,000 times per day and it’s no wonder that our shoulders get tight and blocked up. Here’s where we fix things!
