About Inyo
Movement belongs
to all of us.
Understand a little more about your body. Try something small. Keep what you learn from the experience.

Our purpose
Make movement
understandable.
Inyo brings movement education into everyday life. We connect a useful idea about the body with something you can try and describe for yourself.
The platform gives you a place to explore and keep your observations. Our first shoe, the Mule, is in development alongside it. You can begin with the footwear you already have.
Meet the platformThe approach
An idea.
An experience.
Your own account.
Learn one movement concept, explore a comfortable variation, and return to the same task. A saved comparison gives you something specific to revisit.
- 01
Notice
Describe one familiar task.
- 02
Try
Explore one small variation.
- 03
Return
Repeat your original task.
- 04
Compare
Keep both answers and the context.
What informs the work
Clear about
what we know.
Research, a movement framework and a product in development each have a different role.
- 01
Movement science.
Research helps explain how parts of the foot move and how body movement relates to support. We link to the studies where those ideas appear.

Gary Ward’s framework.
Anatomy in Motion and the Flow Motion Model offer a way of considering whole-body movement through a step. That framework informs our questions; it is distinct from evidence that an Inyo exploration works.

What we are developing.
We are exploring whether a short learn, try and compare experience is useful to people. The archetype assessment is still being refined and does not choose these explorations. Exact instructions and mechanics remain subject to Gary’s review.
