This is slow mindful movement. Underpinned by embodied yoga, Feldenkrais, somatic and other mindful fluid movement practices cultivated over 40 years of practice. This approach:

Slow down your nervous system
Life is too frenetic. We are rarely embodied. We don't have time to really listen to our bodies. Often we have habitual ways of inhabiting our bodies and they have become stuck in unhelpful patterns and ways of holding. We ache, we feel stiff, we lost the grace the fluidity we used to have. Sometimes our bodies are even in pain and we only listen when this pain gets too loud to ignore.
|
Be kind to your body. Come home to your body. Rest your awareness in the sensations of its breath and movement. Learn to move again with ease and awareness. Enjoy the freedom of movement and presence. Let your nervous system reset and soothe itself. With slow mindful movement we can once again inhabit our bodies with ease.

Our signature six part course
This course has been carefully curated to harness the key elements of somatic and mindful movement to enable you to re-inhabit your body, release chronic pain and habitual patterns of posture that lead to discomfort, and enable you to regain balance, freedom and fluidity in your body. We do this by working on movement slowly, retraining our nervous system as we move. It's gentle, incredibly relaxing and will reduce stress. It will also help prevent recurring injuries, prevent joint degeneration, improve flexibility and range of motion, improve balance and even improve sleep.
