Why You Should Try Sleeping On The Floor, The "Furniture-Free" Home, Building A Better Butt, Smartphone Solutions & More With Katy Bowman.

Ah, the intrigue of human movement! Think back to that fleeting moment when you watched a dancer glide effortlessly through a routine or marveled at the precision of an Olympic gymnast. Movement, in its many forms, has the uncanny ability to capture your attention and leave you yearning for more. Now, what if I told you the key to unlocking the secrets of movement lies in understanding the spaces you live in, the furniture you use, and even the shoes you wear? Bestselling author, speaker, and leader of the "Movement movement," biomechanist Katy Bowman is a thought leader guiding thousands towards a more enriched, dynamic way of life. Katy teaches movement globally and has written nine previous books on the importance of a diverse movement diet, including Move Your DNA, Dynamic Aging, and Grow Wild. Her latest book, Rethink Your Position, is a much-needed guide to how your body moves and why you need to prioritize more movement to offset the harms of living in a sedentary culture. Named one of Maria Shriver’s “Architects of Change,” Katy has worked with companies like Patagonia, Nike, and Google as well as a wide range of non-profits and other communities, sharing her “move more” message. Her movement education company is Nutritious Movement and she is the host of the Move Your DNA podcast. From the way sedentarism has stealthily crept into modern society, relegating many to static lifestyles, to the profound concept of movement ecology, Katy is relentless in her pursuit to shift paradigms and has revolutionized how movement is understood and discussed. A mother, an entrepreneur, a teacher, and above all, a lifelong student, Katy Bowman is undeniably reshaping the contours of how people perceive movement. In this episode, Katy shares her diverse expertise and her revolutionary perspectives on movement. With a deep look into her thought-provoking books, we'll unravel the philosophy behind movement ecology and the silent challenges of sedentarism in our modern era. Learn about the biomechanical impact of tech-dependent lives, from the posture challenges of device usage to innovative solutions like her “No Pain In The Tech” Screen Decals that serve as reminders for healthier head positioning.
