Every surface and system in our body is curvy, wavy, spiraling, or on the diagonal. Whenever we make what seem like linear movements with our bodies, a multitude of arcing and rotating movements must occur in order to keep joint integrity.

Every surface and system in our body is curvy, wavy, spiraling, or on the diagonal. Whenever we make what seem like linear movements with our bodies, a multitude of arcing and rotating movements must occur in order to keep joint integrity.
Getting past the cadaver, paper-doll view of the body opens a world of possibilities that invites full-bodied collaboration - which is much less injurious and much more fun!

Learn what parts of the body are designed to healthily absorb impacts from falls and jumps so you can do more with less risk...and less equipment!
Persistent students are soon able to perceive and change root movement patterns that contribute to chronic injuries, sponsoring noticeable improvements to their quality of life. Health through movement is a powerful tool when applied mindfully.

The drivers of this universe: centripetal and centrifugal force, provide trillions of movement possibilities that can be managed to reduce impact and harnessed for a fun ride.
Through simple and guided movement experiments involving the integration of arcs, vectors, and ramps into our personal, daily practice, we find more playful and sustainable possibilities.
a lot of mainstream "health" info is wrong
Overstretching is dangerous! and sets you up for long-term joint instability!!
Some yoga, stretching, dance, and fitness practices demand that the body move in unnatural, damaging ways that violate our design. And few aspire to regain the resilience of our ancestors that could easily run long distances.
Moving As Designed helps us adapt out of injury and sedentary lifestyles and into the blueprint of effortless, springy movement we had as children. Pain-free athleticism is the fountain of youth!
Moving As Designed classes focus on movement principles based on anatomy, physics, contexts, and our unique bodies
IT WORKS!!
"Deb's enthusiasm to life and movement is truly contagious. Her focus on how we are designed to move is refreshing. Many of us have lost this as society shapes us into breathing, posturing and moving in certain “accepted” ways. Ways that can cause tension, pain, and even injury. Deb unfolds movement in its natural way. It’s eye-opening how much stronger we become by just using our body in the way it was designed. It’s quite liberating to swagger down the street and know this is actually the way. Thanks Deb!!!
Pia Paakkonen, Physial Therapist
""Deb made a fantastic presentation to my group of 40 seniors who ranged from very limited mobility to physically active. Everyone received valuable information about how to adapt and use their bodies by moving in beneficial ways; plus they all loved Deb’s enthusiasm and passion!."
Chris Greenwood
Senior program coordinator
"Deb is a master of biomechanics. Her depth on the topic and her joy in teaching it is infectious. If you want to learn how your body was meant to move and how to do so to avoid injury - then this class is a MUST!"
Ron Miller,
high-tech Business Development consultant
"I can feel changes in my reactions even with these few sessions. For example, I was reaching for something the other day, and I noticed that instead of just reaching a little farther, my knees bent and I engaged more of my body to help me reach out. It's only been a week since our last class, but I miss our meetings already!"
Katherine Bell,
dream interpreter and former astrophysicist
"By implementing small changes based on what I learned from the book and 3 of Deb's small group lessons, the shoulder pain that I had had for the past few years due to years of playing sports and not learning to move intentionally has greatly diminished!"

Myofascial release therapist
MY NEW PODCAST IS OUT ON SPOTIFY!
This show explores practical, effective, and unexpected ways to create health. We look outside of mainstream medicine, modern culture, and fitness industries with curiosity. We explore both inner and outer systems, structures, and knowledge that we can thoughtfully use to design a sustainable and enjoyable lifestyle. Topics range from primal movement and breath to architecture, dreams, ancestral nutrition, and sacred sounds.
Deb Voisin is the host and interviews experts in their fields who experienced breakthroughs with unconventional techniques and have a history of helping others do the same.
