What makes this place unique? We are not meant to live in a confined environment. We are not meant to be disconnected from the natural world and our own true nature. Chronic pain, immobility, depression, and lack of vitality, these are the symptoms of the zoo human syndrome. Modern society conditions us to consider this as normal and unavoidable. We don’t think so. Our motto at MovNat Madison is Move well. Be strong. Help others. Moving well means working towards unconscious competence in our daily movement patterns and skills— i.e. carrying groceries or a child, moving furniture, or hiking. This means continual improvement of movement skills pertaining to locomotion, manipulatives, and combatives. Being strong to be helpful means having the physical competence and capacity to use your body in a safe, effective, and efficient way in your daily tasks. Do you have the stamina to play with your kids or grandchildren? Do you skip out on social events because of a stiff back or sore muscles? In an emergency do you have the strength to get yourself or a friend or family member to safety? At the end of the day we all want to be seen as compassionate beings that are able to help when needed. We at MovNat Madison want to make sure your body will be able to do just that. What can first time customers expect by attending?
