Author Notes: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 eleven books, including the groundbreaking Move Your DNA , have sold more than 300,000 copies in English and been translated into 17 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 has been featured in media as diverse as the Today Show, CBC Radio One, the Seattle Times , NPR, 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 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.
