Lori Crock – Communication Coordinator
Lori is a fitness enthusiast and marketing communicator who turns 50 this year. She and her husband, two college-age children, and four hunting dogs, live on three acres adjacent to a park in central Ohio where they get lots of time outdoors.
Lori realized very young that she needed to be outside in the sunshine moving around to feel good in the rest of her life. She describes herself as a life-long lover of movement with a background in swimming, running and more recently lifting weights and kettlebells.
While attending a 5-day MovNat workshop in West Virginia last summer, Lori was surprised to learn how much she didn’t know about movement in different environments … and moving efficiently.
“I went from being a fearful mover to a pretty good mover once I started being mindful and patient with myself and my progress … that was life-changing for me.”
Lori uses MovNat in her everyday life and likes to share it with others … especially those in the 40-60 age group.
“Many of us have limited our movement as we’ve gotten older because we have former sports injuries, we’re out of shape, lack time, confidence, money … and our list of excuses goes on. But with MovNat, fitness is all new again.”
Lori now combines her passion for marketing communication with her commitment to MovNat in her role as Communication Coordinator on the MovNat editorial team.
“This is a dream come true for me.”

Liz Bragdon – Editorial Coordinator
Liz grew up in the Maine woods playing every unorganized game that comes naturally to kids. With a pencil in one hand (to write), a book in the other (to read) and her feet (to move), she jumped, skipped, leapt, and sometimes stumbled among the birch and pine woods, navigated ponds, climbed over beaver dams, rocks, and fallen trees (balancing as best she could). In winter, she did the same, but carrying her skates and a thermos of hot cocoa, instead. All in all, it was the perfect movement exploration ground for childhood. Ultimately unwilling to give up all of the fun and ever fascinated by the human animal and spirit, Liz decided to spend a bit less time with her nose in books and more time moving and sharing movement with others.
Liz still keeps a pencil (well, a computer) in one hand, creating and writing. The rest of the time you might find her balancing on one leg (or her head, shoulders, one hand and one foot, etc.), teaching yoga to grown-ups and children, exploring moving with mindfulness, efficiency, and grace for health and for fun. She is part of an amazing team of movement educators and experts, and together they’ve created multi- award-winning movement resources for kids.
As a mom, Liz is committed to raising a son who can thrive in a world beyond the Human Zoo; as a professional, she is committed to reintroducing kids and their grown-ups back into the wild and encouraging rehabilitation through nature, sunshine, comradery, and training MovNat for natural human movement efficiency, real-world competency, mindfulness, and lifelong health.
Feeling very lucky indeed, she joins the MovNat team as Editorial Coordinator. Anything to do with blogging, writing, editing, hotly debating the rules of grammar and punctuation, etc., send it her way.
