Your teacher


Damien Norris brings a unique blend of academic rigor and practical experience to the field of natural movement. With a PhD focused on human movement and human rewilding, he has dedicated the last decade to studying how movement shapes our connection to land, ourselves, and our environment.
His research has taken him across the globe, training with parkour and natural movement communities in Europe, North and South America, and India.
As a practitioner and researcher in human rewilding, Damien explores how modern humans can reconnect with their evolutionary movement heritage and thrive in an urban world.
His approach combines insights from eco-philosophy, biology, and kinesthetics and more to create accessible ways for people to rediscover their natural movement potential.
