MovNat is a physical education system for developing real world capability through Natural Movement. The MovNat system focuses on teaching the most effective, efficient and adaptable way to move. In real world scenarios in which we must move, there are numerous variables, including terrain, distance, weight, weather, surfaces, etc that increase the complexity of any movement skill that may be placed on us. MovNat aims to make us as prepared as possible to readily adapt to these variables while staying efficient and effective. The MovNat system emphasizes movement skills over conditioning, focusing on developing proper movement patterns. The MovNat training progression starts with efficiency, and as the quality of movement improves, intensity, volume, and complexity can progressively increase. Practicing these skills with progressively higher demands allows for greater and greater conditioning.
MovNat Certified Trainers in Asheville NC
Besides movement skills and conditioning, mindset or mindfulness is a key component of the MovNat physical performance triad.
The MovNat team has identified 10 essential principles that form the philosophical foundation of the MovNat System: evolutionary, instinctual, universal, practical, vital, adaptive, unspecialized, efficient, cooperative, and environmental.
The MovNat team also states:
“We believe MovNat represents such a reclamation of authentic movement, and that while most modern fitness methods may be viewed as optional to the individual, moving naturally in humans is still, and will always be, a biological necessity.”
