MOVLI ACADEMY
About Movli
Movli started with an observation about my own children. Here’s what came next.
The origin
When I wanted to lay the foundation for my own children — learning movement as the base for everything that comes later — I ran into three things.
The first: there was little exercise material online for children of this age. What I did find was either too specialist or performed at an elite level. Nothing a regular 4- or 6- or 8-year-old would experience as doable. Nothing relatable.
The second: I wanted them to want to train of their own accord, not because I imposed it. So alongside the exercises themselves, I looked for the how — how do you offer movement without pushing, how do you make it something they want themselves?
The third: there are plenty of methods offered online; few are actually grounded in research. Science was a precondition for me. I wanted to build Movli on established research, not on someone’s invented approach.
Movli came from these three. Exercises children can do, delivered in a way that motivates them from within, built on science that works.
The mission
Movli’s mission is simple: every child deserves a movement foundation that lasts a lifetime — and the joy of wanting to build it.
The 8-in-10 number doesn’t have to be the future. We want to contribute to a generation that does move enough — by making movement fun and doable early on, for as many children as possible, at home and at school.
Your subscription funds our free school program. Every Movli subscription helps fund our school program — permanently free for schools. In class it looks simple: five minutes of movement after lunch instead of watching a video. A short movement break between tasks. Moving through the day instead of sitting through it. Teachers get ready-made sessions at no cost, so no class has to skip movement because there is no suitable program. Families who subscribe make that possible.
No child should miss out because the knowledge, space, or time isn’t there at home. No class should skip it because there’s no suitable program. That foundation should be universally available.
The beliefs
Joy and intrinsic motivation over pressure and rewards. A child who wants to move on their own keeps moving.
Science over invented methods. Movli is built on Self-Determination Theory, Fundamental Movement Skills and implicit motor learning.
Doable for every child, not just talents. Movement first, entertainment second.
