The EMP Mission
In a world that’s increasingly disconnected, where our routines and distractions leave us searching for something more, we often forget the essence of what it means to be human.
We lose touch—with our bodies, with nature, and with each other. But must this be our fate? Or is there a path to rediscovery?
At Evolve Move Play, we believe there is. This isn’t just about movement; it’s about the pursuit of personal excellence, whatever that might mean to you.
Movement is where we begin, awakening the wisdom of the body.
Through meaningful practices and dialogue, we challenge you to reconnect—not just with yourself, but with the world around you.
What if you could:
Move with purpose, unlocking strength and joy in your body?
Engage in deep conversations that sharpen your understanding of life?
Build relationships that inspire, sustain, and challenge you to grow?
This is what the Evolve Move Play Tribe offers: a space to explore, to connect, and to thrive.
Whether your goal is to become an elite athlete, a more engaged parent, or simply a more present human being, we’re here to guide you.
Ask yourself: What is holding you back from the life you truly want? What might you discover by stepping into a community that values excellence, meaning, and connection?
The answers lie within you—but the journey is one we’ll take together. The path to a richer, more meaningful life begins here. Will you take the first step?"

EMP Core Pillars
The TRIBE is designed to guide you step-by-step from feeling disconnected and stuck to becoming fully embodied, connected, and alive. Through immersive experiences in nature, thoughtful movement practices, and meaningful conversations, you’ll gradually reconnect with yourself, your surroundings, and others.
Pillar 1: Embodied Movement Practice
Reconnect with your body through natural, functional movements that are rooted in our evolutionary biology.
You’ll start with simple practices designed to help you regain mobility, coordination, and strength — not by isolating muscles, but by moving as a fully integrated human being.
Pillar 2: Mindfulness and Presence
Movement is more than physical. You’ll develop mindfulness practices that encourage you to become fully present in every movement, learning how to listen to your body and tune into its natural rhythms.
This practice goes beyond just movement, offering you clarity and focus that permeates all areas of your life.
Pillar 3: Nature Reconnection
Experience the healing power of nature. In this phase, you’ll learn to develop a deep awareness of your surroundings through practicing mindfulness, and engaging in physical practices in natural environments.
Whether it’s climbing trees, running through forests, balancing on rocks, or even just sitting and mapping your surroundings, each practice will bring you closer to nature and yourself.
Pillar 4: Dialogical Practices
Meaningful connection isn’t just about movement — it’s about communication.
You’ll participate in dialogical practices designed to foster deep, authentic conversations.
These exercises will help you improve your ability to listen, connect, and communicate openly with others, enhancing your relationships on every level.
Pillar 5: Build a Supportive Community
You won’t go through this journey alone.
You’ll join a community of like-minded individuals who are also working to reconnect with their bodies, nature, and each other.
Through group activities and shared experiences, you’ll build bonds that support your growth and transformation beyond the coaching program.
This step-by-step approach offers you a holistic path to rediscover your body’s natural intelligence, cultivate mindfulness, and reconnect with the world around you.
By integrating movement, mindfulness, nature, and human connection, you’ll not only transform your body — you’ll transform your life.

Who Is This For?
If you are passionate about movement and nature, and want to develop a movement practice that will bring the most meaning to your life, then this experience is for YOU.
We crafted the EMP method to be adaptable to all levels. We’ve worked with students as young as 11 and as old as 73. Our students have spanned the gamut from untrained novices to elite parkour and MMA athletes.
For experienced movers and teachers, not only will we be covering ways to use the materials with your own students and clients, but previous students have continued to rave about the quality of our methods and how it has improved their own teaching for years after they took our training.
Whether you are a novice mover or expert movement instructor, our methods are fun and simple enough for you to be completely immersed with self transformation.
"Ultimately, this is so much more than a physical experience of returning to the physical aspects of what makes us human. It is about returning to community, returning to human connection and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable with others, and just having fun. This was quite honestly one of the best experiences of my life and I would love to be able to attend again.”
Jamie R
“It’s odd to think about how powerful that one jump has been in my life. I mean, speaking literally, it’s just a jump between two rocks, but I draw on that experience all the time. Not JUST when I’m faced with physical challenges, but when I need to find the courage to speak up, to be more authentic, to be vulnerable, to try something new, to stop the internal dialogue that says “who are you to think you can do this.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I miss a call or interview?
We understand that life can get busy, and missing a session might happen. That’s why all of our sessions are recorded and available for you to watch at your convenience. You can catch up on any missed material and stay on track with the group. Plus, your dedicated coach will be there to answer any questions and provide additional support if needed.
I’m new to natural movement. Is this program right for me?
Absolutely! The Foundation Program is designed to cater to all experience levels, including beginners. We start with the basics and progressively build your skills over the 6 weeks. Whether you’re a complete novice or someone looking to refine your movement practice, you’ll find this program accessible and transformative. Our small cohort structure ensures you get the personalized attention you need to succeed.
I’m worried about the time commitment. How much time do I need to dedicate each week?
We’ve structured the program to be flexible, so it fits into your life, not the other way around. You choose how much time per week you want to spend exploring the learning material, attending calls and connecting with others.
Do I need any special equipment or a specific environment to participate?
No special equipment is required! The beauty of natural movement is that it’s adaptable to any environment, whether you’re in a city park, your backyard, or a living room. We encourage outdoor practice when possible, but you can engage in the exercises wherever you feel comfortable. Our coaches will guide you on how to make the most of your surroundings.
What if I’m not in great physical shape? Will I be able to keep up?
This program is designed to meet you where you are. Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or you’re looking to enhance your existing skills, the Foundation Program is tailored to your current ability level. Our coaches will provide modifications and progressions to ensure that you’re challenged appropriately and safely. Your cohort will also offer encouragement and support, helping you stay motivated throughout the process.
How is this different from other online fitness programs?
Unlike typical online fitness programs that often leave participants to figure things out on their own, our program is built around small, intimate coaching cohorts. You’ll receive personalized guidance from an expert coach, engage with a supportive community, and participate in interactive, live sessions. This combination of flexibility and hands-on support ensures you stay motivated, accountable, and on track to achieve your goals.
Is there a money-back guarantee if I’m not satisfied with the program?
We’re confident that you’ll find immense value in the membership, but we understand that trying something new can feel like a risk. That’s why we offer a satisfaction guarantee. If you try it out and don’t feel that it has met your expectations, you can request a full refund in your first month. It's also super easy to cancel. While our aim is to ensure the community provides ongoing value, if you decide you want to cancel for any reason, you can manage your account directly yourself from inside the member's area.
How do I interact with my coach and other participants?
You’ll have multiple opportunities to engage with your coach and fellow cohort members. The live Zoom sessions allow for real-time interaction, and we also use a dedicated online platform where you can ask questions, share experiences, and receive feedback throughout the week. The community aspect is a core part of our program, ensuring you feel supported and connected every step of the way.
Is it easy to use?
Absolutely. You can access the community from any web browser on any device. We also have an iOS and Android app that will make it super easy for you to access the learning from your phone so you can get out in nature, and explore some of the practices and lessons wherever you decide to play.
