Are You Walking Wrong

 – The MOVEMENT Movement with Steven Sashen Episode 180 with Katy Bowman

Bestselling author, speaker, and a leader in the Movement movement, biomechanist Katy Bowman is changing the way we move and think about our need for movement. Bowman teaches movement globally and speaks about sedentarism and movement ecology to academic and scientific audiences. Her work has been featured in diverse media including The Today Show, CBC Radio One, The Seattle Times, and Good Housekeeping.

One of Maria Shriver's "Architects of Change" and an America Walks "Woman of the Walking Movement," Bowman 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, move more body parts, move more for what you need" message. Her movement education company, Nutritious Movement, is based in Washington State, where she lives with her family.

Her book, the bestselling Move Your DNA, highlighted the importance of distinguishing between movement and exercise and has revolutionized the way movement is now being discussed. This book along with her others—Movement Matters, Dynamic Aging, Grow Wild, Simple Steps to Foot Pain Relief, Diastasis Recti, Don't Just Sit There, Whole Body Barefoot, and Alignment Matters—has been critically acclaimed and translated worldwide.

Listen to this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement with Katy Bowman about the importance of moving correctly.

Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week's show:

- How there is a difference between exercise, physical activity, and movement, and why those must be delineated well.

- Why people should learn how to carry their weight correctly throughout their body.

- How coming from an exercise-centric understanding of movement can be limiting.

- Why moving with other people keeps you committed to your movement journey.

- How most people are not being taught to see their own shape when they are moving and why that is problematic.
