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.

Not Cancelled At This Time
Mondays August 2nd-August 30th
Low Back Bootcamp In The Lavender
Instructor: Katy Bowman, with substitute Libby Scofield August 9th
Lower backs often need extra care. The way we move—not only how much we move our bodies but how we move them—is often the primary reason for aches and other repetitive injuries in this area.
These fun outdoor classes use precise form to mobilize and deeply strengthen all the parts that affect the lower back (abdominals, pelvis, hamstrings, shoulders) using a variety of positions: lying down, hands and knees, standing, and sitting. You will not only exercise this area in a way that specifically supports the spine, you will learn how to move during non-exercise time in a way that helps your torso getting stronger and stronger. Take one class or take them all!

Alignment Foundations
Instructor: Libby Scofield
Join Libby at the Nutritious Movement Center Northwest for an on-your-mat, carefully distanced exercise class to get any stiff, home-bound parts moving well. This will be a fun, invigorating and challenging class.
SEPTEMBER INDOOR CLASSES ARE CANCELLED
DUE TO HIGH INFECTION RATES IN THE COUNTY
Masking policy: Due to case rates and variants, we are going back to masking during indoor classes and mats will continue to stay 6′ apart, capping classes at 8 participants. Because folks often travel to come take a class at our studio, we feel this is the most prudent decision at this time.
Class Cost
Single class fee: $15
10-class card (good for three months) for $100, $130 (if you’d like to “sponsor”), or $70 (if you’d like to be “supported”).

August 9th, 2021, 7:00-8:00pm
Get Kids Moving More with Katy Bowman: an Outdoor Reading, QnA and Book Signing at Auntie’s Bookstore
Spokane, WA
Kids’ growing bodies need ample movement and they come with all the software to get it. Unfortunately our modern environments are creating the opposite of dynamic spaces and squelching their reflexes to move. Join us in-person at Coeur D’Alene park in Spokane, WA on Monday, August 9th at 7pm for an event with Katy Bowman’s book Grow Wild, all about how to inject movement into your kids’ every day lives and turn them into wild movers. Please come with a blanket or camp chair as well as your mask!
At Coeur d’Alene park, Spokane, WA
August 11th, 2021, 4:00-8:00pm
Grow Wild Launch: A Book Walk (and Talk) for Adults and Kids at Pendleton Library
Pendleton, OR
Katy Bowman’s newest book about the essentialness of movement just can’t be celebrated sitting down! Her first book for parents, Grow Wild: The Whole Child, Whole Family, Nature-Rich Guide to Moving More is over 400 pages with over 200 full-color photos. On Wednesday, August 11th, it will also be one mile long! We’re bringing her new book to life in the form of a one-day, dynamic celebration: a “book walk” designed for adults and kids alike. The pages of Grow Wild will be spread out Grecian Heights Park in Pendleton, Oregon to be walked, and read, from 4:00PM – 8:00PM. Admission is free but registration is necessary. Katy will be on hand for photos, questions and booksigning, and will give an outdoor talk and Q&A from 7:00–8:00pm. A Grow Wild-based scavenger hunt will keep children engaged along the way. All are welcome to bring a blanket and spread out in the ample space of the park.

Private Sessions
You may prefer learning in a one-on one format, or you may have a specific movement issue that you would like to explore fully. 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.
