It’s a way of life. We also believe it’s the best way to strengthen you mentally and physically\, that the best learning and growth happens through experience (i.e. outside of your comfort zone)\, and that Nature is one of our greatest teachers. \n\n\n\nSo\, if you want to improve your fitness and Natural Movement abilities\, please join us at this special retreat\, where you’ll safely explore the MovNat Foundations curriculum under the tutelage of some of the world’s greatest movement coaches. Make memories on the beach\, doing things you never thought you could\, at this one-of-a-kind experience designed to positively impact your life through Natural Movement®. \n\n\n\nWe will be out in nature most of the day\, in the lovely natural setting of Tulum\, Mexico learning the foundations of Natural Movement®\, fully in context in an outdoor environment. Your instructors will emphasize basic yet challenging\, mindful movements with amazing benefits for overall fitness\, mobility and conditioning.Optional “Introduction to Combatives” (Tuesday\, February 28th) This one-day event will introduce you the fundamental principles of the MovNat Combatives curriculum. You will learn some easy to use\, practical and effective skills that will help you and your loved ones. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWhat to Expect at a MovNat Retreat\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFoundations Techniques Covered To Help You Become a Capable\, Confident Mover\n\n\n\nDuring the three days of the course\, you will learn dozens of basic Natural Movement techniques\, such as: \n\n\n\n\nGround Movement (lying\, rolling\, crawling\, sitting\, kneeling and get-ups)\n\n\n\nGait Movement (walking and balancing variations\, technical stepping\, running)\n\n\n\nAirborne Movement (basic jumping and vaulting techniques)\n\n\n\nClimbing Movement (specifically on narrow vertical and horizontal surfaces)\n\n\n\nManipulative Movement (e.g. lifting\, carrying\, throwing\, catching\, etc.)\n\n\n\n\nWho Is This Retreat For?\n\n\n\nWe designed the MovNat Foundations retreat with beginners in mind\, but we adapt it to whoever participates. \n\n\n\nThis retreat is open to everyone no matter your age\, fitness level\, or current movement abilities. We will be focusing on rebuilding basic movement patterns\, using MovNat’s “from the ground up” approach. The level of difficulty will be scaled for each person’s ability. So\, this retreat is definitely beginner friendly\, and you will never be pushed to do anything too hard\, unsafe\, or that you’re uncomfortable with. But you will be challenged! You will also receive teaching and coaching in Movement Efficiency Principles (e.g. including breathing technique) and General Practice Efficiency principles to help you get the most out of your MovNat practice.This retreat is an ideal opportunity to get a full dose of the essence of MovNat\, without the “pressure” of passing required tests that are part of our MovNat Level 1 Certification. Additionally\, if achieving MovNat certifications IS among your personal or professional goals\, this Foundations Retreat is a great starting point for that journey!While there is no preparation necessary for the retreat\, we understand many people like to prepare and train for a new challenge. Therefore\, as part of your registration\, you will receive a free “MovNat Technique Prep Guide” to familiarize yourself with the specific techniques covered in each day’s training sessions. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\nParticipants will connect on the evening of Friday\, February 24\, 2023 to enjoy a welcome dinner (specific restaurant location is to be determined). Your Instructor Team will give a brief description of the days to follow. Everyone will meet at 9am at the Tulum Archaeological Zone on Saturday\, February 25th to begin the three FULL days of movement (February 25-27\, 2023). *Note: For those attending the optional “Introduction to Combatives” day\, this will be held on Tuesday\, February 28th.  \n\n\n\nYou can expect at least six hours of professional instruction per day (e.g. 5 hours of movement instruction and 1 hour of lecture)\, split between morning and afternoon sessions. Every session will first cover fundamental movement techniques and variations with a great emphasis on mindfulness\, breath\, position\, stability\, and relaxation. Your instructors will emphasize practical\, mindful movement and progressive\, safe skill acquisition.   \n\n\n\nWhat To Bring\n\n\n\n\nComfortable clothing for moving in the outdoors (e.g. shorts\, T-shirts\, etc.)\n\n\n\nHat\n\n\n\nMinimal shoes\n\n\n\nSun lotion\n\n\n\nSnacks and Fluids\n\n\n\nA small notebook and a pen or pencil.\n\n\n\n\nAdditional Information\n\n\n\nTransportation\, lodging and food will be up to the participants\, and is  NOT included in the price.
