Let Go of Self-Consciousness and Move Naturally

MovNat asks us to go out on a limb in more ways than one. Yes, it prepares us for our up close and personal with tree bark, but it also challenges us to interact with our environment, whether that be indoors, outdoors, urban, or rural, in ways humans have long ditched in favor of sitting, [...]

MovNat Montreal: 2-day Workshop Reflections by David Salmon

“As an amoeba, it’s very difficult to hunt wild animals. Try moving around with no limbs, using just your shoulder blades. It took a long time for humans to develop to the point of being able to move well, like we can today. Let’s review the process…”

This was the engaging introduction to MovNat given [...]

Guest post by Steve Gangemi: Endurance Oriented MovNat Training

Hunter-gatherers were constantly active, alternating hard physical days with less demanding days as often as they could. Their routines were balanced, promoting strength, agility, and aerobic and anaerobic endurance, thereby ensuring that their health remained intact. For the most part, their activity kept them strong and injury-free. It’s most likely that the majority of hunter-gatherers [...]

Real-life testimonial: Nicky Sciolino

Two years ago I started feeling like a slug. I had always been very active, but I was getting sick of going to the gym and doing the same workouts every day. Other than martial arts a few days a week, I felt like I needed a treadmill or a room full of weight [...]

MovNat Moves for Seniors, By Robert (Bob) McMillan

71 years old, playing more than ever

In September of 2009, at age 69, I attended the first MovNat “Reawakening” week at Summersville Lake, West Virginia. Although in “decent” shape, I had a great number of misgivings, mostly about participating with younger attendees in an active and strenuous fitness regimen. I had read an article [...]

Guest Post by Tate Zandstra: MovNat training in Thailand

The world is a watercolor of indistinct blues and greens around me. My heart is hammering from a short but intense swim and even as the saltwater stings my naked eyes I feel I haven’t grabbed enough air before diving. I can see Vic beneath me, barely, unconscious and sinking. His body is limp, his [...]

Guest Post by Lori Crock: Outta Your Comfort Zone? My Experience of MovNat

Last week I went on my own to a week-long outdoor program called MovNat … moving naturally. It was an experience I have to tell you about because we all need to get out of our comfort zones once in a while. It is tricky to explain MovNat because it is much more than what [...]

Guest Blog Entry by Frank Forencich: Don’t we want more from the Paleo than diet?

Just back from the Ancestral Health Symposium at UCLA and my mind is buzzing with exuberance and ideas. In brief, the short story is simple: This was an outrageously inspirational event, not just for me personally, but for anyone interested in themes of health, human origins and primal living. This event will ripple all across [...]

Guest Post by Dr. Stephen Gangemi: A 6-Time Hawaii Ironman Finisher and Holistic Doc's perspective on MovNat

I recently spent a week living beside Erwan Le Corre, Vic Verdier, Clifton Harski and eleven other MovNat attendees, training quite differently than I have for, well, anything. For the past 20 years I’ve been immersed in the triathlon and endurance arena, having competed in 20 Ironman races, including 6 Ironman Hawaii World Championships. Countless [...]
