Rule 5 Saturday - Leaping into the Weekend with Taylor Carpenter

Something a little different for Rule 5 Saturday - Taylor Carpenter, a parkour teacher. TED, 

Taylor Lynn Carpenter is a professional parkour athlete, coach, and content creator from Hawai'i. As a hybrid athlete, she blends parkour with lifting, climbing and acrobatics to push the boundaries of human movement. Living nomadically, she competes internationally and plays a key role in the Apex School of Movement, developing programs, coaching athletes and growing local and global parkour communities. Passionate about making movement more accessible, she strives to inspire others to embrace fear, adaptability and creativity — spreading a love for movement wherever she goes.

Parkour isn’t just for extreme athletes — it’s a life skill that can help anyone navigate the world more easily, says professional parkour athlete Taylor Lynn Carpenter. She pulls off some slick vaults, jumps, dives and rolls onstage, showing how the basic movements of parkour can help you maintain mobility, mitigate injuries and rediscover your sense of adventure.
