Our Training Team

We have the most innovative movement training program in Albuquerque.  Our team includes an experienced physical therapist, an athletic trainer, and a high-level MovNat instructor.  We each contribute to programming, and confer on progressions and individual clients when needed in order to make youre experience well-rounded, individualized, and safe.

All of our trainers are MovNat certified, which means they’ve been trained in and have perfected the movements they're teaching. They know how important it is to be able to modify and progress, to keep you healthy and improve your movement.

Samuel Sanders, PT, DPT

Certified Level I

MovNat Instructor

Classes
Refine

Samuel first started practicing MovNat on the beaches and in the jungles of Big Island, Hawaii in 2013. This was a movement revolution for him that led to a lifelong interest in Yoga, Breathwork, Lightsaber Combat, Kung Fu, and Tai Chi practices, and eventually guided him towards PT school where he began to further hone his understanding of Human Movement. Samuel loves teaching foundational movements skills, like crawling, running, balancing, lifting, and carrying, and hopes to inspire a greater range of embodied movement expression in his clients to make life more playful, easeful, and interesting. When not in the clinic, you can find Samuel exploring the wilds, hunting mushrooms, taking a dip in a cold stream, stoking a campfire, or dancing under the stars.
