Hierarchy of Movement

Norman's work supports two groups in particular. First, he supports athletes and movement artists seeking to improve their performance.

Second, he supports those with physical pain or discomfort, limited range of motion, or imbalances such as scoliosis, anxiety, and/or depression.

All practitioners can expect improved awareness, increased strength and mobility, reduced pain, and a sense of greater joy and ease.

In Norman's experience, starting more than one new thing will overload your nervous system with too much information (even if it's all great information). This will create confusion as well as diminish the benefits that each system can provide. For instance, if you're feeling better or worse, it would be very difficult to determine what is causing what.

Norman is of the opinion that if you're starting some other interventions, go do those for 3-4 months and then, if you're still interested in Norman's work, come back to us. We'll be delighted to work with you.

It's so easy for any of us to try to accelerate our healing processes by "throwing" many things at what we perceive to be our "problem." In fact, sometimes that's part of the problem - anxiousness and stress driving us to want to fix something NOW. It kinda reminds us of the fable of the tortoise and the hare. With 40+ years of helping himself and others, Norman likes to say his "power animal" is a turtle. Slow and steady is actually the way to win the race.

Norman truly cares about your wellbeing. He feels this is a much better plan than trying to fit many things in at once.

Not to worry! We have established times for you to check in with us during your Foundations Program. And, you can text us to ask any questions you may have.

Once you complete The Foundations Program, you become a Foundations Graduate!

Graduates are invited explore a large catalog of live and recorded classes led by Norman.

Foundations Graduates are encouraged to continue their healing process beyond Foundations by practicing three times each week, either on their own or by taking Norman's live or recorded courses.

In live classes, Graduates will have the opportunity to meet the many other incredible folks who are learning from Norman.

All of these post-Foundations offerings automatically unlock after completion of the Foundations program, and are included in your membership.

The HōM modality is a slow process. You will likely experience it as a subtle process.

Everyone's experience is individual to them. We've heard of dramatic results within a few days. For others, the dramatic changes happened after 3-7 years.

We're here to help you. The coaching calls are a great opportunity to discuss progress and ask questions.

Some minimal equipment is required for the program, including a study chair, two yoga blocks, and, optionally, a yoga mat. Check out Norman's recommendations on our Equipment Page
