RHYAN BROWN MOVEMENT EDUCATION
Mission Statement
I help people rediscover movement as the primary way we engage with the world—not just for fitness, but for finding meaning, clarity, and connection in everyday life.
Through embodied practice, we become homed in the world again—not by thinking harder, but by learning to move with attention, poise, and purpose.
This isn’t about performance. It’s about an embodied remembrance of what grounds us—our direct experience, our lived body, our way of being.
When we move with care and awareness, our world becomes more whole.
And through that wholeness, we remember who we are.
What Is Movement Education?
To pursue education in movement is to study the very phenomenon of how we have our being, how temporality is enacted, and how our body says “I can” in order to disclose the world.
Movement is not a secondary feature of life; it belongs to life’s ontological structure.
It is our first way of knowing and the precondition for perception, orientation, and embodied understanding.
We do not come to know the world as disembodied subjects and then move the body through it.
We know the world through our embodiment and movement.
Movement, as a phenomenon, is not motion. It is the Mover’s way of being.
Movement is not the same as motion.
Motion can be understood as the displacement of objects in space.
But movement, in the deepest sense, belongs only to the mover—whose way of being is movement.
A rock rolling down a hill has been moved, but it is not moving.
It is not moving in the way a living being moves; it has simply been put into motion.
Objects are not responsive. They do not disclose the world.
They are set in motion by external forces—but do not move themselves in order to enact their care structure.
To move is to be a self-moved mover—one whose way of being is movement, and whose movement is co-shaping with the world in an active reciprocal relationship.
We are such beings.
We are not just in motion—we are movers.
And through our movement, the world we are amidst is opened and taken up.
When we mistake motion for movement, we reduce the body to a quantitative machine.
We forget that movement is our way of being and primordial understanding.
To study the true phenomenon of movement is to study the way of being of the mover, and how it allows us to have a lived world—how we orient, sense, respond, and participate in the world as embodied agents.
What Is a Movement Practice?
A movement practice is the practice of our way of being in the world – we practice movement to cultivate our way of being in the world.
It draws on our lived entanglement with the world through movement—not to master it,
but to deepen our connection to what matters: within ourselves, with others, and in the world.
Through movement, we come to discover what is meaningful, to act with presence and poise,
and to be transformed in the unfolding of our embodied experience.
The body is revealed to us not just as another object in the world,
but the living medium through which the world—and wisdom—are revealed and renewed.
How Movement helps us cultivate wisdom and a meaningful life
• Cultivate a deeper sense of connection to the world—where your attention, movement, and environment begin to harmonize
• Discover movement as a transformative practice—not for fitness or achievement, but for becoming more fully alive
• Reconnect to a felt sense of meaning, where action and awareness are no longer separate
• Flow arises through movement practiced with care and attention, revealing a deeper way of being in the world where action becomes a meaningful path to wisdom
• In the flow state, movement becomes a way of being fully alive, where self, meaning, and world are drawn together into one unfolding current
• Develop the ability to live your life with more poise, rather than losing your agency in the face of the world's challenges
• Through embodied self-transcendence, overcome physical, emotional, and perceptual limitations—opening the way for freedom and integration
• Expand your capacity to connect with what matters—in yourself, in your relationships, and in the world
