How To Start Your Movement Practice

How do you start your Movement practice?

That's a great question.

And while we love curious questions more than answers, this is one we think you'll appreciate our answer to.

At Hiddenbody, we approach Movement in the same way we approach nutrition.

Just as your body needs certain nutrients, such as vitamin C, vitamin D, and magnesium, to stay healthy, it also needs a handful of fundamental movement patterns to stay capable.

We call these the 3 Movement Vitamins:

• Vitamin W - For waving to segment your body.

• Vitamin S - For squatting to fold your body.

• Vitamin H - For hanging to lengthen your body.

Together, they form what we call your daily Movement Multivitamin.

Each Vitamin contains qualities your body needs for lifelong movement regardless of age, experience or goals.

We have created a dedicated tutorial for each one.

First, if your lower back and neck are screaming for your attention, follow along with this routine.

If knee pain or lower back pain has been holding you back, nourish your body with Vitamin S.

Finally, if you've experienced shoulder pain, stiff shoulders, or simply want healthier overhead movement, start with Vitamin H.

Movement as food.

It sounds like a strange comparison.

But pause for a moment and ask yourself:

What does a healthy long-term diet look like?

It probably has a few things in common:

• It has variety.

• It provides the nutrients your body needs.

• You enjoy it enough to keep coming back.

Should Movement be any different?

We don't think so.

That's why, at Hiddenbody, we approach Movement not as exercise to endure,

but as nourishment to return to,

day after day.
