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.
"As Katy Bowman knowledgeably―and often humorously―explains, the
concepts of barefoot biomechanics and minimal footwear aren’t just
about feet. Whole Body Barefoot offers a nuanced discussion of
minimal shoes as just one potential component of a whole-body
solution to what so often is really a whole-body problem."—Jordana
Bieze Foster, Editor, Lower Extremity Review Magazine
"Whole Body Barefoot is an indispensable guide for anyone looking
to make the successful transition to minimalist footwear, with the
added bonus of improving the function of the body."—Paleo
Magazine
"I truly admire anyone who can make me laugh and learn at the same
time, especially when it comes to my favorite subject of all, the
body. I also enjoy someone who has the ability to take
sophisticated and sometimes confusing terms or principles and break
them down into practical bits of information that are applicable to
daily life. Whole Body Barefoot does this time and again, and it's
one of the most important reasons I adore the book so
much."—Preston Ray Fitness
"This is a must-have book for anyone with feet!"—Ben Greenfield,
athlete and author of the New York Times Best Seller Beyond
