How you move changes how you feel
and that changes everything
Hello, I’m Teya Alden
For me life has become far more then just not hurting. Not being in pain was my first step.
Now my goal is to spend my life exploring just how flexible, strong, and resilient I can become and sharing what I discover with you.
It’s not about finding more time. It’s about learning how to use the time you already have in new ways that regenerate your body.
Movement as a lifestyle begins with practicing specific mindful movements to supplement a movement void.
Over time we embody these improvements and carry them over to our gait pattern making our walking the regenerating action it was designed to be.
Natural movement sustains the body, however if we don’t know the language of the nervous system and we can’t listen to our own physiology then we are missing a major foundational piece.
A paradigm shattering missing piece
in the wellness puzzle
move like it matters … is for you if you are interested in moving smarter, feeling better, relieving aches and pains, and minimizing disease risk.
We have all begun to understand the basics of good nutrition is a variety of natural foods. We know there are vitamins and minerals we literally can not live with out.
We are just now beginning to look at movement in the same way. Movement is not optional. It is clear by our over all health we are not getting the necessary movement nutrients for human function.
You may have heard the statement .“You are what you eat.” Latest research also supports another perspective, you are actually how you move.
Undoing the damage to our body starts with changing the way we think about movement, think about our body, and how we think in general.

Walking is a whole body movement. When you walk every joint of your body is set in motion. The body can either walk efficiently or not, it’s the not walking efficiently that leads to compensations in your body. The more movement inhibitions, the more musculoskeletal compensations. The more compensations, the more pathology. The more pathology, the more sad feelings.

I tell my clients in the very first session that if they’re only willing to make one change to improve their overall wellbeing, switching to minimal shoes and spending more time barefoot is it.
Because the more restrictive a shoe, the less it allows the joints in your foot to move and the more other joints will have to move to accomplish the goal.
This is compensation, and can only occur when the body is preforming sub-optimally.
If you are wearing shoes that restrict movement in your feet in order to protect them, you’re putting your feet and other areas of your body at risk.
If any joint limitation is happening in the feet, pain can show up anywhere in the body thats compensating for that limitation. The surrounding muscles can’t experience their full range of motion and will start to become weak and stiff.
