Through practice, fundamental physical qualities such as speed, strength, endurance, coordination and flexibility are developed. Training also necessitates and promotes the growth of essential mental and moral qualities such as self-control, courage, will, focus, alertness, respectfulness, solidarity, cooperation and reciprocal altruism. Lastly, just as MOVNAT promotes the return of the body’s natural physical capacities, so it encourages respect and concern for nature. We train to be able to move naturally, we train in nature, and we train to connect ourselves with the natural world and to care for it.

Please bring: athletic clothes & shoes, a snack, and a bottle of water if you prefer.
Please note: There are 40 total spaces available, so please register ahead of time to ensure your space.

Instructor bios:
Erwan Le Corre is the founder of MovNat; He has been passionate about natural movement since his early childhood when his dad started having him climb trees, run through the woods and jump from rock to rock. In his 20's, Erwan spent 7 years in Paris practicing "combat vital", a barefoot, natural form of training, including various breathing techniques and extreme challenges through urban exploration at night. His passion and extensive experience of natural movement training combined with his knowledge of Methode Naturelle recently lead him to the creation of MovNat, a training concept that encompasses his overall experience and his personal approach.
Erwan has also an extensive sporting background including trail running, rock-climbing, olympic weightlifting, sailing, triathlon (ironman finisher), apnea, parkour, judo, karate (black belt and former national level competitor in France), Thai boxing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Rafe Kelley is a founding member of Washington’s Parkour community, the Vice Chair of the Pacific Northwest Parkour Association, and a respected member of the national and international Parkour community. In addition to his Parkour experience, Rafe has eight years of gymnastics experience and ten years of martial arts training.
