Katy Bowman, M.S., is the founder and director of the Restorative Exercise Institute and the creator of the popular Aligned and Well DVD series, a step-by-step visual guide to learning the basics of skeletal and body alignment. Katy’s groundbreaking work in pelvic floor restoration has made her particularly popular with midwives, OBGYNs and others concerned with pelvic mobility, strength and health. Her awardwinning blog and podcast, Katy Says, reaches hundreds of thousands of people every month, and thousands have taken her live classes. Her books, the bestselling Move Your DNA, Every Woman’s Guide to Foot Pain Relief and Alignment Matters, have been critically acclaimed and translated worldwide. In response to great demand for additional information on foot care, she released a practical exercise guide, Whole Body Barefoot: Transitioning Well to Minimal Footwear, in 2015. Katy travels the globe to teach the Restorative Exercise Institute’s courses in person, and spends as much time as possible outside with her husband and two small children.
