The Evolve Move Play System is aimed at helping you remember the vital role that natural movement plays in obtaining physical health, mental wellbeing, and an improved sense of meaning in your life.

Movement Lifestyle Courses
Imagine Loving Your Body And The Way It Moves...
Because the truth is, a lot of people don’t.
Over the last half a century, fitness culture has done a lot of damage to the way we perceive movement and how we treat our bodies.
The concept of what is “healthy” has largely been twisted to the point where many have spent years slogging through drudgerous routines, chasing unrealistic ideals and being convinced that they’re flawed or broken when they can’t achieve them.
We’re looking for a change; not just in the specific movements we perform, but in the entire way we conceptualize the meaning of movement, fitness, and health in a broader sense.
That’s what our work at Evolve Move Play is centered around, and the best way to start experiencing these theories and practices TODAY is to sign up for one of our Movement Lifestyle Courses.

Parkour Courses
unlock your body's potential
Within your body exists boundless possibilities for creative, expressive, and functional movements, and through these movements we can connect more deeply to the things that bring us joy and meaning in life.
Nature is the place where our ancestors honed these skills that would be passed down to us through our DNA. When we move in nature, we see how something as simple as going from point A to point B can require an astonishing set of movement skills that many modern humans simply haven’t needed to acquire.
But these skills exist within us today, and when we develop them we become stronger, sharper, more resistant to injury, and more equipped to escape the mundane and find a sense of thrill and accomplishment.
With our online parkour courses, you’ll get step by step progressions on how to perform these fundamental movements, as well as lessons on how hone your vision and scout out training opportunities within your local environment.

Nope. All of the lessons are available on-demand. Once you enroll you will be given access to our unique social learning platform where you will be able to access the learning material on your schedule from anywhere in the world.
If you’re new to movement and are looking to get started with EMP, all of our courses are built to be beginner friendly.
The most important factor to consider is how far you want to take your practice. If you just want a gentle daily movement routine that gets you in touch with your body and helps you stay active, Return to Movement, The Daily Practice, and EMP Foundations will be perfect for you.
Roughhousing 101 and it’s expansion courses are a great option as well if you are excited about body to body practices and have friends or family that you can train with.
If you want to go further with your skills and start developing stronger, more dynamic locomotive abilities, our Intro to Natural Parkour series can take you from beginner to intermediate or even advanced levels of skill if you put in the time and effort!
One of the best things about natural movement is you don’t need fancy equipment.
In Return to Movement and the Daily Practice, all you’ll need is your body and some space to move around in. There will be some guidance in how to use optional props from around your home to aid in your practice, such as chairs, walls and cushions.
In Foundations and INP, we will give you scouting missions and expert guidance on how to find training spots in the local areas around your home where you can safely practice the techniques we cover.
Obviously, in order to roughhouse you will need at least one partner, and a preferably soft, flat, spacious area to play around on.
You will have unlimited and lifetime access to all the training materials you purchase in your bundle.
If you decide it’s not a good fit and you’d like a refund within the first 30 days of your purchase, we will remove your access to the online courses, but you’ll still have lifetime access to the general EMP Members Area where you can utilize our community forums and interest groups!
At EMP, it’s about more than just the movement.
Our method is rooted in the evolutionary perspective on fitness and lifestyle, and we believe that going back to a ‘Whole Human Movement’ approach is the key to not only a strong, robust AND agile body, but also a sharp, curious and peaceful mind.
Through our movement practice, we aim to not only become the most adaptable and antifragile version of ourselves, but also gain a deeper sense of connection, meaning, purpose, and satisfaction in life.
