Another new month! Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to make girlparkour.com a resource full of articles, stories, photos and videos. This website would not be anything without the ladies and gentlemen who are out there sweating, training, teaching, taking photos, making videos, writing and sharing their experiences of parkour.
Last month a few events were planned to encourage women to come out and train, one event that deserves mention is the Finding your way workshop by Traceur Project in Mexico. Big thumbs up! You can view the photos of the event at :
