Bestselling author, speaker, and a leader of the Movement movement,
biomechanist Katy Bowman, M.S. is changing the way we move and
think about our need for movement. Her eight books, including the
groundbreaking Move Your DNA, have been translated into more than a
dozen languages worldwide.
Bowman teaches movement globally and speaks about sedentarism and
movement ecology to academic and scientific audiences such as the
Ancestral Health Summit and the Institute for Human and Machine
Cognition. Her work is regularly featured in diverse media such as
the Today Show, CBC Radio One, the Seattle Times, the Joe Rogan
Experience, and Good Housekeeping.
One of Maria Shriver’s “Architects of Change” and an America Walks
“Woman of the Walking Movement,” Bowman consults on educational and
living space design to encourage movement-rich habitats. She has
worked with companies like Patagonia, Nike, and Google as well as a
wide range of non-profits and other communities to create greater
access to 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.
"Move Your DNA is a gift of complex information presented in an
easily actionable style. Katy Bowman reminds us we are not in fact
at the mercy of our genes―and she shares how to get started right
away." —Gabrielle Reece, professional athlete and author of My Foot
Is Too Big For The Glass Slipper
"Move Your DNA is one of the most important books I've ever read.
If you've suspected “nutritious” movement is as important to your
health as nutritious food, you're right. This book explains why."
—Robb Wolf, author of The Paleo Solution
"Bowman covers some complicated topics, including physics, biology,
kinesiology, and mathematics, but her tone is light,
conversational, and often humorous, making learning from her
effortless. Skillful use of analogy and metaphor makes complex
topics accessible. For example, Bowman explains that loads are akin
to the bending and rustling of a tree on a windy day and that
inactivity can lead to disease in a way similar to that of a
confined orca that develops a floppy fin. Move Your DNA is
enjoyable, convincing, and sure to change the way fitness buffs
(and couch potatoes) move." —Foreword Reviews [First Edition
Review]
"This is a powerful, thought-provoking “must” for any collection
strong in not just health routines, but in health science."—Midwest
Book Review
"I would recommend this book to everyone. Whether you've been doing
the fitness thing for years or are an absolute beginner, you will
find seeds of wisdom to help you move more and better. Move Your
DNA is a paradigm shifter that acknowledges the complexity of
modern movement habits while also providing helpful ways to improve
and grow." —Breaking Muscle [First Edition Review]
"A pioneering and necessary book and an instant classic." —Eden G.
Fromberg, DO, for The Huffington Post [Review of First Edition]
"A groundbreaking book that makes the case that exercise is not
enough" —Pilates Style Magazine
