Deep Roots Movement, Ellicott City, MD
Modern living has removed most humans from the natural world, where our bodies were designed to live, survive, and move. Although modern technology has had significant positive impacts on our quality of life, certain aspects of our lives have suffered, including how often and how well we move our bodies.
In a world where movement is no longer necessary to survive, Deep Roots Movement promotes a positive concept of human movement that is based on joy, exploration, and connection.
Deep Roots Movement is currently providing online movement classes including:
Gentle Mobility
Deep Rooted Movement
Gently Mobility w/ TRX 4
Deep Rooted Movement with TRX
In-person classes will resume later this year and virtual streaming capabilities will also be available. One-on-one movement coaching and outdoor movement experiences, including hiking and nature exploration will also be available.
