Movement Matters is a collection of essays in which biomechanist Katy Bowman continues her groundbreaking investigation of the mechanics of our sedentary culture and the profound potential of human movement. She invites us to consider our personal relationship with sedentarism, privilege, and nature. Bowman explores: how convenience often means less movement, not more time, the missing movement nutrients in our food, how to include more nature in education, the impact of adding movement to permaculture and ecological models, and our need for vitamin Community and group movement. Unapologetically direct, often hilarious, and always compassionate, Movement Matters demonstrates that human movement is powerful and important, and that living a movement-filled life is perhaps the most joyful and efficient way to transform your body, community, and world. Part biomechanist, part science communicator, and full-time mover, Katy Bowman educates people on the role movement plays in the body and in the world. Her website and podcast, nutritiousmovement.com and Katy Says, reach hundreds of thousands of people every month. She is the author of Move Your DNA, Movement Matters, Simple Steps to Foot Pain Relief, Diastasis Recti, Don't Just Sit There, Whole Body Barefoot, Alignment Matters, and Every Woman's Guide to Foot Pain Relief.
