Mocean365 And LOOPTWORKS

Always on the lookout for brands and companies that have similar missions. A eye for adventure, focus on quality and sustainability.Recently Meg Walsh(Rootswise/Mocean Mate') were chosen to be "Secret Agents" for one such company that is producing some amazing clothing and accessories with a very noble mission. The company is called LOOPTWORKS and is based out of Portland Oregon. We have got right to work testing the clothing and spreading the word and are very pleased with it overall. LOOPTWORKS is dedicated to "Upcycling" which is that repurposes abandoned materials into meaningful, long-lasting and limited-edition products. By re-using the world’s pre-consumer excess, the U.S.-based company aims to rid the world of waste while inspiring a generation to reduce their impact on the planet. The inaugural line includes jackets hoodies, skirts, shirts and graphic t-shirts for both men and women.
So NO new materials are used in their process and that is really incredible. Check them out and order up something and see for yourselves. Below are a few shots of some of their stuff. We will be regularly updating so stay tuned!

Mocean365 Adventure




So many of you know Mocean365 offers a wide array of movement and fitness instruction all down outside focusing on dynamic movement right? Yes, we do this all seasons with people from all walks of life from kids to older adults. Athletes to weekend warriors to total newbies. People with ailments, old injuries and rust that needs to be worked out. A wide variety of people have chosen to work with Mocean365 and this drives us each and every week to provide a unique, engaging and FUNctional curriculum that is very much its own and not borrowed.
Not to say the teaching doesn't draw from other forms of human movement because it is very much a culmination of all the past and present lessons and experimentation and education garnered from great leaders.
People who are on board with Mocean365 might notice an influence of martial arts/boxing, gymnastics, Parkour, yoga, strong man training, metabolic conditioning and more. All of those experiences plus many others have helped shape the current offerings.
But the most prevalent influence is that of the outdoors and the pursuit of adventure. The term adventure might be in danger of being overused around these parts but that you'd better get used to it. Adventure, in an outdoor setting defines Mocean365 and drives us each and every day and is the reason why we offer ONLY outdoor based instruction and we are proud to be one of the few organizations to offer this ALL year around in a warm and cold climate. Its easy to offer all year around outdoor training in southern California. Its not so easy to do this in Vermont especially in a region where the mountains receive 300 plus inches of snow per season.

We also offer outdoor adventure guiding and instruction well beyond the traditional "fitness" scope. Want to learn to mountain bike or surf? Or maybe step up your game a bit, we can help you.
So hit us up, try us out. Doesn't matter if you are are just starting out on your journey of getting to know your body or you are a hard core warrior looking to take it to the next level. You can do a individual session or grab some friends and do a custom group. You can also come to a public class. You can also add nutrition counseling with our partner, Rootswise. And we work with private groups like schools, hospitals, non profits and workplaces to bring you the Mocean365 Movement Adventure.
Times a wastin' so contact us today to get started.
Cheers
