Move Better. Grow Confidence. Together. Outdoors.

Hello I’m Sam, and I run In Nature Movers in Torbay, Devon.

What is In Nature Movers all about?
In Nature Movers has been created to bring older people together through fun, play-based activities that feel natural and practical. Our sessions are centred around movement in the outdoors. They’re inclusive, social, and community-focused, with a playful approach that adapts to each individual and group.

It’s a concept originally devised and created by ‘Nature Moves’, and I am proud to have become an accredited facilitator here in Devon.

What it's not….
It’s not an outdoor gym, a set of prescriptive movements, a target-driven programme, or a bootcamp.

Our sessions are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face – and you will leave with that warm smiley feeling inside because you had fun! We give you permission to play!

How It Works

Our sessions are built around task-based coaching, where there’s no right or wrong way to move - just opportunities to explore, adapt, and grow.

You might find yourself:
- Getting up and down from a bench
- Working in pairs to solve a movement challenge
- Balancing while passing a ball
- Laughing your way through a group activity

Every session is:
- Inclusive and adaptable
- Social and supportive
- Playful and engaging
- Focused on real-life movement

In Nature Movers can come to you
If you would like me to run a private session for your club or organisation get in touch to discuss your requirements. I can come to you (if you have a suitable space – preferably outdoor but I can adapt the sessions to indoor too)

Private group sessions can also be booked at a time that suits you at one of the areas I have available to me.

If you would like to discuss either of these option please get in touch.

Maybe you have outdoor space that could be used for sessions?
If you do have an outdoor space that would be available for us to run sessions on please get in touch. The size of area required is dependant on number of attendees but ideally it needs to be no bigger than a tennis court.
About Sam - Founder of In Nature Movers

A little bit about me and the origins of In Nature Movers

I'm Sam, founder of In Nature Movers and Sea Swim Torquay.

I am at my happiest when I am outdoors, either being active or just enjoying nature and my surroudings. I was lucky enough to grow up in Devon with a family who valued the outdoors – and this is something I have taken through life with me.

I have worked teaching Outdoor Education both in the UK, Ireland and Europe.

I’m looking forward to you joining our community and becoming an In Nature Mover!
