“‘Culture is not your friend’ once said Terence McKenna. The day-to-day life we deem ‘normal’ involves a form of unseen physical specialization where our movement behavior consists mostly of sitting and walking a few steps, a predicament I have coined as ‘movement poverty.’ With his brilliant book, Aaron provides us with a stimulating perspective and a simple yet effective method to get us back into better motion, health, vitality and physical freedom.”
—Erwan Le Corre, founder of MovNat and author of The Practice of Natural Movement

With this book he becomes your personal coach, and you couldn’t hope for a better one.”

—Professor Stuart McGill, author of Back Mechanic
“In order to move well, you must move through your own body, investigating its bits, pieces, and perceptions.
