For the last installment in our series of conversations about trauma-informed training, we’re talking with Patrick Barnes. Patrick is based in Oakland and he is the swiss army knife of movement coaches. He coaches ballet, weightlifting, powerlifting, strongman, parkour, kettlebells, martial arts, swordfighting, and basic gymnastics. This is the last interview in our series of conversations about trauma-informed training, and it’s a fun one.
Patrick’s available for personal training, hybrid remote coaching, and something that he calls “movement problem solving.” If you have a persistent problem that is hindering your existing practice and you want to workshop that problem, Patrick can do that. Check out his website for more info.
