In this episode of the Beyond Terrain Podcast, I sit down with Evin Keane to explore what true health and movement sovereignty really mean.

Evin shares his journey from chronic injuries and conventional strength & conditioning to rediscovering ancestral movement principles and helping others resolve pain through awareness, curiosity, and whole-body integration.

We dive into:
* Why health begins with sovereignty, not external authority
* Movement as a reflection of deeper health patterns
* The dangers of isolated training vs. integrated, natural movement
* How injuries reshape the body’s strategies — and how to re-educate them
* Fascia, efficiency, and why variety matters more than perfection
* Lifestyle shifts that restore freedom and adaptability
* Why curiosity is the missing ingredient in healing and training

This conversation is about much more than movement. It’s about reclaiming your body, your choices, and your life.
