Dear MovNat community,

Our heart’s go out to everyone affected by the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), which has disrupted many lives and is producing fear and uncertainty in communities all around the world.

We’ve had to make some hard decisions these past couple weeks (e.g. postponing many MovNat events), but we are in good spirits as we focus on our unchanged mission of empowering our students to become “strong to be helpful” through Natural Movement® Fitness.

Ever since its origin, MovNat has always been about practical, adaptable movement for everyday life and even emergency situations. We believe we all need to keep moving – now more than ever – to stay healthy, manage stress, and help each other.

Our Performance Director, Danny Clark, filmed this message to explain what MovNat is doing to meet this challenge. He also shares a few steps you can take to stay positive and keep moving as you navigate this difficult situation.

We know this is a scary time, but if we come together as a community, we can weather any storm.

Given the ever-changing circumstances, we’ll be releasing new free resources, interactive distance learning opportunities with our top coaches, and other affordable ways to learn and practice MovNat on your own through online courses.

In the mean time, we encourage everyone who is affected by this crisis (stuck at home, social distancing, etc.), to join our MovNat Adaptive Practice Sessions newsletter to receive free MovNat workouts every week (see below for more info). These can be done anywhere you happen to be, even at home.

We also created a MovNat COVID-19 Survival Guide, which contains some of our best home training resources for MovNatters who are quarantined or are otherwise sheltering in place.

Thanks for your support. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
