"Working out" in a gym using machines would have seemed nonsensical to them. Why not just move your body in the way it was designed to move in order to accomplish the tasks required by everyday life? Having guidance and feedback form an instructor is useful, but in this book, Erwan has laid out the fundamentals of movement so that you can be your own teacher. first, he defines Natural Movement by using twelve principles, which make up what he calls his "manifesto." Then he lays out the foundational knowledge you need to start your Natural Movement practice, which includes breathing, position, sequence, and timing. From there he moves on to explain practice efficiency to help you understand where to train and how to progress safely through the movements to increase your skills."--book jacket
