Meet Maddie 🐈:
Chief Movement Inspector, part-time coach and full-time expert in restoration.
Every dojo has its regulars. Mine just happens to have four paws. Whether I’m practising Persian meels, kettlebells, rope flow or yoga, Maddie is rarely far away. She doesn’t join in, doesn’t offer technical advice and has never attempted a kettlebell clean and press, but she always seems to know when practice is about to begin. While the meels wait patiently, Maddie finds her favourite spot on the decking and reminds me that good practice starts with being present.
