My movement journey started with competitive athletics as a child. I spent years in a gym. The questions really started around 2012 when I started focusing on powerlifting. I was bigger and stronger than ever, but I was also in more pain than ever and losing mobility. I knew there was something I was missing and I started looking for a better way. Something was on the horizon that would challenge not only my fitness perception, but my entire worldview.
My life would take a massive shift in 2013 when my mother decided to end her life. It threw my whole reality into complete chaos. The event forced me to reevaluate everything in my life. I grew immensely through dealing with the loss of my mother and I would never see the world the same again. I exited that experience with a completely different set of values and a whole new perspective on life. My mother’s death and what I learned from it strongly colors the mindset I share with others.
With the deep questioning that followed, I discovered MovNat, a system for teaching and learning natural movement. It filled many of the gaps that I had discovered from traditional strength training and allowed me to adapt what I already knew and practiced to a broader spectrum of movement. With a new outlook on exercise, thinking, and connection I started piecing together what would become OdhrMinded. Ancient wisdom for the modern world.
• Natural movement that builds genuine strength and adaptability.
• Breathwork to calm the mind and nourish the body.
