looks like your kinda thing:)

On another note, I’m very happy that MovNat is _still_ getting more momentum without compromising; I really believe you deserve this ongoing achievement.

Regarding Arno’s comment on the pictures: I’d like to add that it’s the perception; it is reminiscent a kind of testimonial that is often regarded as dishonest. I don’t doubt you mean it for good, but a ‘before/after’ photo pair will rub some people the wrong way, and it will only be because of stigma. Perhaps a different visual style, instead?

You see nowhere that MovNat is about loosing weight and this kind of thing. However it is truth that looking better and most importantly FEELING better is an important and legitimate concern to many.
So I believe that publishing Don’s story and showing him, how he feels and looks so much better now, would inspire others that are in a similar condition to attend a MovNat event.
It was actually Don himself that suggested to show that change and send photos, as he is very proud of this accomplishment, and also wants to become a MovNat coach himself and help others to achieve what he is still in the process of achieving now! So expect more news about Don in the future as we will follow him.
Listen MovNat is not about creating some kind of “elite” of natural movement. It is designed to rehabilitate the “zoo human”. Many people need this, fit or not fit, but especially the unfit, because they are the one that suffer most of the zoo human syndrome.

But “Don’s Story” with the the fotos “before” and “after” looks extremly untrustworthy and dubious, like some crapy diet ad, so why do you put it on the welcome page?

When someone is doing good work (like you do) it shouldn’t be necessary to promote it like this.

Ben, MovNat can be trained anytime anywhere making the best of where you find yourself, adapting to conditions. However extreme weather/terrain areas like deserts (hot or cold ones) are not ideal and then it is rather survival techniques you want to learn and use rather than thinking of training natural movement there.
Last, again, MovNat can be trained indoors, in a city or using man-made structures. Contrary to what many people believe, training is often most efficient and highly optimized using man-made structures/facility.
Nature often does not provide much scalability and safety is a constant issue. The ultimate goal is to be able to train or move efficiently in nature (but not only), but unless you’ve been living in nature all your life, it is not at all the best strategy to exclusively train in the wild.

keep up the good work!
