- Early Humans: Movement was essential for survival — running, hunting, climbing. The body evolved to support upright posture and endurance running.
- Agricultural Era: With farming, movements shifted to repetitive labor — lifting, digging, and building. This required new kinds of strength and endurance.
- Industrial Revolution: Human movement became more constrained, leading to less physical activity as machines took over manual tasks.
- Modern Era: Today, we’ve returned to recognizing movement as vital for health, wellness, and expression. Through exercise, dance, and mindful practices, we reconnect with our evolutionary roots.
Movement is not just a necessity it’s a tool for discovery, connection, and transformation. It has shaped our bodies, our minds, and our cultures, and continues to be a vital part of what it means to be human.
