MovNat Montreal: 2-day Workshop Reflections by David Salmon

Guest post by Steve Gangemi: Endurance Oriented MovNat Training

Real-life testimonial: Nicky Sciolino

One-day Workshops: Santa Barbara, Atlanta and Miami

Week two of the MovNat spring 2011 one-day workshop tour saw me travel to Santa Barbara for our most intimate group-3 great participants.  It’s a shame that we didn’t have more because the location was great for some MovNatting.  I’ve got to get back to that small but gorgeous city and explore.

After my trip to
