Join Andrew Brown for Fitness Through Movement classes, small group and private lessons at Embody Practice Center!  Fitness Through Movement classes will be based onMOVNAT® Natural Movement Fitness methodology. Andrew is a MovNat Certified Trainer (Level 2). Movnat is the study and practice of natural, real world movement capacities and is designed to create an unspecialized, well-rounded and mindfulmovement skillset.

Do you remember how much fun you had as a young child when you were outdoors and allowed to explore your natural movement capacities that are instinctual to you?  Movement was an expression of your true nature.  Has that changed?

Who is this class for? Everyone.  Because this practice involves natural and instinctual human movement capacities that are scalable and progressive to the individual, it is applicable for everyone.  It is particularly useful to aging individuals (aren’t we all!) who want to gain and preserve movement skills, balance, strength, and flexibility, but is equally useful for everyone for these same reasons.

Fitness Through Movement will be designed for those who seek mindfulness and mobility, but also want more significant physical conditioning in terms of strength, endurance, dynamic coordination, joint stability and balance. This type of training involves practicing and gaining progressive skill and efficiency in the instinctual human movements, including balancing, crawling, climbing, jumping, running, vaulting, throwing and catching, lifting and carrying.  These are the necessary natural human movement skills that you will find children practicing instinctually.  And they are natural movement skills that every human being who lives a natural lifestyle depends on to navigate the natural world.

This practice is scalable to the individual, progressive, unspecialized and is relevant to everyone and every environment in some way. This is also a great complement to the more specialized practices such as Yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates, etc.
