Steven Sashen
Welcome to The MOVEMENT Movement -- the podcast for people who want the TRUTH about having a healthy, happy, strong body.
We'll be breaking through the mythology, confusion and sometimes outright lies about what it takes to walk, run, hike, do yoga, paddle board, lift... or whatever you do. I'm here to help you do it better and have more fun.
It's called The MOVEMENT Movement because We're creating a movement. Making natural movement to the obvious choice the way natural FOOD is currently.

Episode 118: Moving Safely Isn't Safe
Moving Safely Isn't Safe – The MOVEMENT Movement with Steven Sashen Episode 118 with Natalie Wieneroider Natalie Wieneroider teaches core strength to older adults on GetSetUp to help with balance and strength. Natalie believes that healthy living and movement are an ingrained part of her DNA. As an adult she spent many years traveling, first throughout Europe, supporting herself as a tour guide and then a similar role around Australia, eventually landing in India for a 6-month discovery tour which led her to intensive Yoga teacher training. Back home and over the next twenty years, she pursued studies and practice in Shiatsu therapy, Kundalini yoga, and Pilates and began teaching these modalities. For Natalie, these practices were not enough as she has a constant need to know 'why?'. So, she took additional courses including studies with Biomechanists Katy Bowman (Nutritious Movement) and Jules Mitchell (Jules Mitchell Yoga), multiple foot workshops, and many others. Her desire to work out how to integrate movement into our lives to achieve personal transformation led her to further questions and research. Natalie's major goal is to help you achieve health and wellbeing through integrating alignment and natural movement into your daily life. She looks forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your health and wellness goals. Listen to this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement with Natalie Wieneroider about how moving safely isn't safe. Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week's show: - How everyone moves differently, so they need an individual approach. - How our bodies are more resilient than people give them credit for. - Why people need to move in a way that feels correct for them. - Why sitting on the floor is a better alternative to sitting on a couch or chair. - How it's important to move throughout the day, whether you are sitting or standing.
