MovNat
What is MovNat?
With origins in Parkour, MovNat helps you learn the fundamentals of movement and become more physically capable. It’s practical and applied fitness, with real-world applications.
Imagine you’re out tramping and need to jump over a stream, cross over a fallen tree, or traverse a slope too steep to walk upright. MovNat helps you do all of these and more with confidence. It has the philosophy of “be strong to be useful” and that you build conditioning through doing the movement itself, rather than using functional training for general physical preparedness.
Fundamentals of Movement include ground-based movement, crawling, locomotion, balancing, jumping, vaulting, lifting/carrying, throwing/catching, and climbing.
A typical MovNat session would include: a ground-based warmup, learning or refining some skills, putting it together into a ‘combo’ - a movement circuit. You will also get a sweat on and have fun.
MovNat featured my journey to becoming a Level 2 certified coach in their journal here: movnat.com/becoming-a-mid-life-ninja. It shows you that it’s totally possible for a 40-something with a desk job to progress to this level.
I’ve also been inteviewed by ‘No Fate’ about my MovNat experience nofate.io/rebecca-speirs-movnat-new-zealand - ‘No Fate’ talks to global high performers and creates practical tools that we can all use to stay on course and see things through.
The video link shows what you could progress to learning over time - these movements are all Level 2.

Animal Flow
What is Animal Flow?
Animal Flow is fun, ground-based movement, designed to improve strength, power, flexibility, mobility, and coordination - for all levels. Moves have animal names like crab, scorpion, ape, beast and you build up a flow with moves and transitions. You can also do interval training using the movements and progress to handstand movements. No equipment is needed. It’s all bodyweight movement, and great as a mobiliser - you feel amazing afterwards because it works through your lines of fascia and you'll feel like you've had a nice stretch as well as a bodyweight workout.
