Have you seen people vaulting over barricades, leaping across rooftops, and doing somersaults off the sides of buildings? They may have been doing Parkour. Dr. Vali Hawkins-Mitchell’s Adjusted Parkour offers a method to participate in Parkour even if you can’t leap across an abyss or even step off a curb. The origins of Parkour offer philosophical as well as physical approaches when encountering obstacles. Dr. Vali’s career has focused on helping others evolve resiliency practices to manage personal and professional obstacles. Adjusted Parkour is the latest addition in her effort to help people discover or remember how to use creative and mindful presence to navigate life.
