The 7th MovNat Principle: Efficient

It’s natural, but is it efficient?

In the previous blog entries, we’ve seen that moving naturally means moving in a human species-specific way and that those movement aptitudes are evolutionary, instinctual, and universal.  Since every human being possesses those fundamental aptitudes, anyone can do it.

‘Anyone can run, jump, balance, lift and carry, etc…to some extent at

Vital: a fundamental MovNat Principle

I was recently contacted by Robert Lansdell from Lynnwood, Washington.   This is a story I wanted to share with you, as it illustrates how being “real-world fit” does not only improves how you move and feel on a daily basis, but can also prove to be a vital condition to getting out of a tight

The 5th MovNat Principle: Vital

Moving Naturally.  It is Vital.

In the last entry, we covered the 4th MovNat principle, Practical, and explained that true self-confidence stems from real-world physical competency.  As a matter of fact, the ability to effectively and efficiently perform practical physical actions is not only useful in day-to-day life, it can prove to be of vital importance,

MovNat workshops and the learning process

800.000 years ago in the African Savannah, a hominid shows his son how to use sharp stones as primitive tools to cut some pieces of meat and organs quickly from a dead animal they have found.  800 years ago, a farmer in France shows his son how to use a scythe to harvest their crops

MovNat and the Athlete: Guest Post by Rudy Thomas, Strength & Conditioning Coach, UCSD

People are constantly evolving –  growing up, growing older, and unfortunately, growing away from what I believe is our natural self and being.

Philosophy aside, humans are movers by nature. It’s how we’ve come to populate the entire planet. These days, though,  we move less than we ever have and the little movement that we do

The 2nd MovNat Principle: Instinctual

In the last entry, we discussed how moving naturally is part of our evolutionary and genetic agenda.  Moving naturally is instinctual – an innate behavior, and it is the second MovNat principle.  It is for this reason that young children start moving naturally without any instruction and even before the full development of language.  Have

Moving Naturally? The MovNat Movement Skills©

In our previous entry, we observed that the most effective way that every animal species becomes fit and remains optimally fit is through species-specific locomotion, i.e., by moving naturally.  Therefore, it’s logical to believe that human beings could attain incredible fitness by following a species-specific approach.

This species-specific approach is at the core of the MovNat philosophy

MovNat Certification: A Personal Perspective from Founder Erwan Le Corre

I can remember observing the lack of movement and vitality in adults when I was just a 5- year-old boy.

Growing up, I understood instinctively that I would have to keep moving, never stop moving.  Growing up, I witnessed the physical problems and the decline of the people around me.  Even then, I was trying to

Guest Blog Entry by Danielle Cook: A Memorable vacation

My family and I spent 5 days in Nebo, West Virginia attending a workshop called MovNat.  Prior to going, my friends and family would ask me where we were going this year on our family vacation.  When I told them, they were like “you are going where, and doing what?”  They thought we had lost
