The National Association Against Sitting (NAAS) develops and supports evidence informed programs focused on reducing prolonged sitting and sedentary behavior through education, guidance, and collaboration.
NAAS takes a calm, evidence-informed approach to reducing sedentary behavior. Rather than prescribing uniform solutions, we focus on helping individuals and organizations understand how movement can be better supported within everyday environments.
Programs are designed to be flexible, educational, and adaptable—recognizing that needs vary across workplaces, institutions, and communities.
NAAS works with individuals and organizations seeking structured, research-informed support to address prolonged sitting and sedentary behavior in workplaces, institutions, and communities.
