What if we exercised, not to add more years to our life, but more life to our years?
Figure out what you’d like to move for and we can help.
Not only can we help you improve balance, stability, and the way your body feels on a day to day basis, we want you to be strong enough to explore the abundant wilderness and green spaces just outside our back door, play with friends of all ages, and feel physically confident enough to pursue your passions.

Grand Opening!!!
Instructor: Katy Bowman
Please join us for the grand opening of Nutritious Movement Center Northwest!
We’d love you to come by anytime during our “drop in” slots below! You’re also invited to attend one of three 30-minute lectures by Katy Bowman. The lectures are free, but due to space limitations, you’ll need a ticket to attend a lecture. (See below; one lecture per person, please.)
Otherwise, please drop in between lectures to learn some daily exercises, try four movement assessments, or let us help you build a home exercise program. We’ll have discounts on sessions, class passes, and teachers on hand to help you bring movement to your whole life. We’re so excited to show you our new space and move with you!
10:00 AM: DOORS OPEN
10:00 AM-11:00 AM: DROP IN! Take a tour, try some exercises, and assess your movement
11:00 AM-11:30 AM: LECTURE: Feet, Knees and Hips and How They’re All Connected
Your knee bone’s connected to your foot bone, so the song goes, but what does that mean for your joints? It means that if you’ve been working on keeping your knees and hips healthy, you must also move your feet well (and vice versa). KB will give a basic overview of the mechanics of the feet, knees, and hips and some basic alignment makeovers that can instantly change the loads placed on these parts. Register here.
11:40 AM-2:00 PM: DROP IN! Take a tour, try some exercises, and assess your movement
2:00 PM-2:30 PM: LECTURE: Balance vs. Stability (and Why It Matters)
We work to improve our balance so we don’t fall, but we often neglect our joint stability—which is what translates into moving our bodies safely and well. KB offers some quick explanations and measures on how to assess your entire body for balance as well as a few simple correctives to improve both balance and stability. Register here.
2:40 PM-4:00 PM: DROP IN! Take a tour, try some exercises, and assess your movement
4:00 PM-4:30 PM: LECTURE: What is Nutritious Movement, and What is “More Movement,” Anyway?
We’ve never had more data demonstrating people need to move more, yet sedentarism is on the rise. Why? KB explains some of the disconnect between “movement” and “exercise” and offers a strategy to infuse your life with more movement. Register here.

Alternatively, you may just want guidance mapping out your own home practice, and would like an instructor to guide you to the most effective exercises and/or materials. Private sessions are one-on-one, 60 minutes long, and will take whatever format best serves you reaching your movement goals. To be connected with one of our instructors, please email NMcenter@nutritiousmovement.com.
