The real reason we train indoors is to enjoy playing outdoors.
About me?
Hi I’m Josh. I’m originally from the UK and came for a 2 week holiday to BC in 2013, fell in love with the wilderness and have been here ever since. I worked in the outdoor industry for years taking youth in the backcountry but have since found my passion with natural movement.
I am a husband and father and love to move and play with my son using this approach. I have found Natural Movement to be one of the best ways to interact with my son as movement in this way is a language that children speak and understand. Kids get it.
I have never been able to stick to conventional gym exercise for very long. I found it incredibly boring and I could never stay motivated by all the numbers. My approach instead was to do a wide range of activities to keep a well rounded body. When I discovered MovNat and Natural Movement approach everything fell into place, and I feel this approach has made me a better mover now than ever before at the age of 42.
I am a Level 2 Certified Movnat instructor but have also completed courses, workshops, read books, and learnt from online resources from a number of fields and people.
The way I teach movement has been inspired and is a mix of the following teachers:
Erwan Le Corre - Movnat and BreathHoldWork
Loren Fjord - Humanwild
Rafe Kelley - Evolve Move Play
David Weck - Weck Method
Zahan Billimoria - Samsara Experience
I use Natural Movement as it is a fun way to stay fit and healthy while interacting with the environment, but also to keep me strong and resilient to do other activities. I believe the gym should only be a supplement to doing the things your enjoy. For me that is trail running, snowboarding and splitboarding, football, gravel and mountain biking, surfing, climbing, hiking and jiu-jitsu.
