Diverse, abundant movement is an essential input for the body. Study after study shows it, and exercise is amazingly cheap, considering the benefits. Yet each generation of humans moves farther into the zoo of cities and suburbs and sitting transport. Now a generation is poised on being transported into the arcade of the metaverse, still farther away from the healthy movement that used to be incorporated into daily living.
We cannot go back, so how do we go forward? How can we physically prepare children and ourselves for an active longevity, emotional resilience, and spiritual attunement?
Tom Myers and Katy Bowman have thought about movement for decades and in this event, discuss “movement as nutrition” and “spatial medicine” – how we shape ourselves in the world. Tom and Katy outline solutions, tried and tested through many years, for both kids and adults to integrate movement into life, rather than having it be a chore. Movement modalities abound—lifting, Cross-fit, yoga, Pilates, running, etc.—but what is best for whom and when? People are not all the same, bodies are not all the same either, and not all activities affect people the same way.
Learn to assemble your own movement toolkit and create a plan that works for your body and works within the world we live in. Be more ‘at home’ in your body.
