Are you feeling stuck in your fitness journey, struggling to break through plateaus, or simply looking to move with more freedom and confidence?
Imagine a life where your body feels strong, agile, and capable of handling any physical challenge thrown its way. Where every movement you make—whether it’s lifting, running, climbing, or simply playing with your kids—feels natural, effortless, and in harmony with your environment.
Welcome to the EMP Foundations Program—a 6-week coaching cohort designed to help you rediscover the joy of movement by building the essential skills of strength, balance, coordination, and flexibility.
Unlike generic fitness routines that focus on isolated exercises, this program is your gateway to mastering natural movement—holistic, functional, and powerful.
You won’t just learn how to move; you’ll learn how to move better—with more control, more fluidity, and more confidence.
And you won’t be doing it alone. In our small, intimate coaching cohorts, you’ll receive expert guidance and personalized feedback every step of the way.
Whether you’re a beginner looking to start your movement journey or an experienced mover aiming to refine your skills, this program will challenge you, inspire you, and ultimately redefine what your body is capable of.
We all know the story. You sign up for an online course, filled with excitement and good intentions, only to find yourself losing motivation halfway through—or worse, never starting at all. It’s not that the material isn’t great; often, it’s exceptional. The problem lies in the format.
Did you know that less than 20% of people actually finish the online courses they enroll in? That’s right—most people never reach the goals they set out to achieve. And at Evolve Move Play, we have a different vision. We want you to break free from the screen, to be out in nature, moving with purpose and joy, not stuck inside watching endless videos.
But we also understand the incredible value of being able to share our philosophy and coaching with people across the globe. We didn’t want to choose between reaching a wider audience and delivering an experience that truly transforms your movement.
So, we reimagined the entire online experience.
Instead of leaving you to navigate a course on your own—like 80% of people who never finish and don’t see the results they’re looking for—we’ve built a program that fosters real connection, accountability, and growth.
Our program is delivered through small, intimate coaching cohorts. You won’t be on this journey alone. You’ll be part of a close-knit group, supporting one another, and building a community of like-minded individuals who share your passion for meaningful movement. Plus, you’ll have a dedicated EMP Coach guiding you every step of the way, offering personalized support, expert advice, and keeping you on track to achieve your goals.
This approach gives you the best of both worlds—the convenience and flexibility of online access, paired with the hands-on, personalized guidance that ensures you not only complete the program but thrive in it.
At Evolve Move Play, we’re deeply committed to your success.
We want you to fall in love with movement again, to rediscover the joy of moving in nature, and to feel a profound connection to your body and the world around you.
We want you to be part of a vibrant community that shares your passion and helps you unlock your body’s full potential, leading to a life filled with adventure, meaning, and fulfillment.
The Foundation Program is a comprehensive 6-week journey designed to reconnect you with the natural movement patterns your body craves. Each week builds on the last, guiding you through practices that enhance your physical capabilities, deepen your awareness, and integrate these skills into your daily life.
Here’s what you’ll experience:
Focus: Shaking Practice, Swinging Patterns, and Joint Washing
Shaking for Stress Relief and Emotional Balance: Begin your journey by learning to reset your nervous system through shaking practices. Inspired by nature, this practice helps release built-up tension and promotes emotional regulation, making your body feel lighter and more at ease.
Swinging for Fluidity and Coordination: Embrace the fluidity of movement through swinging patterns that engage multiple muscle groups. Enhance your coordination, rhythm, and neural health, all while moving with grace and ease.
Joint Washing for Enhanced Mobility: Keep your joints healthy and flexible with joint washing techniques. This practice ensures your joints remain lubricated and mobile, reducing the risk of stiffness and injury.
By the end of Week 1, you'll feel a renewed sense of freedom in your movements, with less stress and more fluidity in everyday tasks.
Focus: Body Scan and Sensitizing Activities
Body Scan for Enhanced Awareness: Develop a deep connection with your body through mindful body scans. This practice increases your awareness of internal bodily states, helping you to identify and address areas of tension or discomfort.
Sensitizing Activities for Better Coordination: Through squeezing, rubbing, and striking techniques, sharpen your brain's sensory map of your body. This heightened body awareness will improve your overall coordination and movement efficiency.

Ground Flow for Continuous Motion: Practice the art of moving seamlessly across the ground, transitioning smoothly between positions. This dynamic movement fosters better joint health and enhances overall mobility.
Integration of Movement Practices: Learn to combine climbing, jumping, running, and ground flow into a cohesive, holistic movement practice. This approach ensures all aspects of your physical and mental well-being are addressed.
By Week 5, you'll have developed a holistic movement routine that enhances both your physical resilience and mental agility, preparing you for complex and varied movement challenges.
Focus: Roughhousing and Social Connection
Roughhousing for Physical and Emotional Development: Engage in playful roughhousing to improve your physical coordination, agility, and balance. This practice also strengthens social bonds and builds resilience by teaching you to manage stress in a controlled, playful environment.
