The very first copy of Owen’s brand new and first ever book, ‘Core’, has landed in his hands!!

At every stage of the process, Owen has found himself newly-surprised by how surreal it still feels to be the author of something that others will soon hold in their own hands.

Here’s what he has to say about it:

“I was amazed to be asked to write a book, the whole process mixed gratitude with terror. The topic, core, meant I began the journey with trepidation. Controversial and complex, I now have a fondness for the core. The book allowed me to pursue knowledge and gain an insight.

“Now the book is complete I know that the pursuit of knowledge is far from over.”

02/14/2024

Owen wrote a book in two dimensions, which your brain is gonna love! But it wasn’t enough for him.

So he designed a workshop in four dimensions, so your whole self can learn about the Core, and he’d love you to come!

When you come to the workshop, you’ll get a signed copy of the book (while the rest of the world has to wait til April for their plain ol’ unsigned version from Amazon) but, mostly, you’ll get to dive in deep to the Core (and the Pelvis) with your brain *and* with your body.

Join us for our newest insightful offering of practical hands-on, hands first education.

Links for the workshop, and to pre-order the book, in all the usual places.

‘Core: A Science-Backed Approach to Exercising and Understanding Our Central Anatomy’ by Owen Lewis
https://amzn.eu/d/3ld5ueE

Core adopts a holistic yet practical approach to demystifying the core, focusing on both its physical significance to bodily movement and its central role in our overall well-being.

Lewis clearly explains how the core works to manage and transfer the force of movement through the center of the body, building on principles of biotensegrity (how the tension and compression of different muscles creates a balanced structure that distributes stress and strain). The later chapters of the book provide a range of useful, functional training exercises suitable for lay readers but especially helpful as examples for therapists and trainers to use with clients.

The first print copies are looking fantastic. Congratulations, Owen!
