MOVE YOUR DNA: Restore Your Health Through Natural Movement

Product Information

This book is packed with a ton of exercises and plenty of info on the science of biomechanics to help us pay more attention to the loads we’re putting on our bodies throughout the day so we can get in harmony with how our bodies were designed to move. Most people have very little idea about how movement works in our bodies, or how much movement is required for natural biological function. Katy’s lighthearted and funny approach helps us all put the movement back in our lives, and the joy back in our movement! Katy is one of the world’s leading biomechanists—helping us integrate proper body movement to optimize our well-being. Nutritious Movement recognizes that not only do we need to move our whole bodies more; we also need to move our individual body parts more.

Move Your DNA by Katy Bowman | Waterstones

Bowman teaches movement globally and speaks about sedentarism and movement ecology to academic and scientific audiences. Athletes and exercisers, too, benefit enormously from Katy’s stepwise approach to stabilizing and strengthening the whole body for whole life goals. Ihi Heke discusses his indigenous approach to movement, including his Maori framework: our relationship with birthplace and where we live has implications for our health.Three quarters of the course will be on the mat, but you’ll also spend time applying good form to walking, hanging, and introducing your feet to “vitamin texture. And, make sure you check out our Notes on Joan Vernikos’s Sitting Kills, Moving Heals and Michelle Segar’s No Sweat for more wisdom on this whole becoming a perpetual motion machine topic—which is my current obsession.

Move Your Own Body Well Weekend Courses To Learn To Move Your Own Body Well

I am very excited to announce I have a new book, Rethink Your Position: Reshape Your Exercise, Yoga and Everyday Movement, One Part at a Time. The exact timing of these weekends varies, but in general the days are broken into 90-minute exercise classes interspersed with outdoor movement experiences and breaks. In this episode, Katy explains why this matters and gives you some fun exercises that you can do at home. The only requirement is that you’d love in-person instruction for each exercise, a chance to play with bodypart bolstering, exercise modifications and variations, all in a welcoming place to connect with others who are interested in moving their bodies in new and beneficial ways. Many of us struggle to get regular exercise, but even that can fall short of nourishing the body from head to toe.No, not how technology affects mental health or how you think, but how it could be affecting the actual structure of your skull. One reason a solution to the inactivity crisis has proven so elusive is the use of language that is very general, or non-specific, which leads to solutions that are non-specific, and therefore ineffective. Move Your DNA Weekends are limited to 10 students per instructor so you get plenty of individual attention and learn how to fit all our exercises to your body.

Because DNA can be expressed differently depending upon how external factors impinge upon the cells within which the DNA resides, and because movement is one of these factors, the way we move has a direct bearing upon how our bodies are shaped—for good and ill. If someone can be active on a part-by-part basis, then so too can they be sedentary in areas of their otherwise active body (and diseases of parts could be related to sedentarism of parts).
