The writer, speaker, and biomechanist Katy Bowman is at the forefront of the “movement movement,” which aims to challenge the way we perceive movement and how we incorporate it into our daily lives. Transcending traditional exercise routines, her work focuses on the concept of “movement nutrition,” a kind of bodily nourishment achieved through both full-body engagement and targeted exercises for individual body parts. As one of journalist and former first lady of California Maria Shriver’s “Architects of Change” and a prominent figure in the “walking movement,” Bowman has collaborated with companies such as Patagonia, Nike, and Google; authored several books, including the best-selling Move Your DNA (2014), Movement Matters (2016), and most recently, Rethink Your Position (2023); and founded the Washington-based company Nutritious Movement. Across all of her work, she promotes her message of “move more, move more body parts, move more for what you need.”
