Workshops offer time and space to discover connections and movement potential.
Knowing your body better creates a rich vocabulary of movement. Understanding your body better allows true awareness of where your movement derives and why. The aim is to create awareness and knowledge,
so that you can permanently acquire deeper conversations between your “self” and your movement.​
Workshops are viable for all movers with all their diversity of experience.
All you need is desire to investigate these areas, discover new connections and enhance your movement practice.

WORKSHOPS
PELVIC FLOOR & CORE
Friday 2 May 7:00-9:00pm
The pelvic floor serves as a remarkable hammock for your body. Located at the base of your pelvis and when combined with core strength muscles, they form an exceptional foundation of support and strength.
The pelvic floor is an equal partner in core stability. Good pelvic floor and core stability will minimise the risk of injury throughout the body, support your organs and improve your general wellbeing. Improving pelvic floor and core stability is also about improving control which is not the same as improving strength.
Weak muscles result in tension in your feet, hamstrings, quadriceps, hip flexors, lower back, thoracic spine, shoulders, and neck. Learn to engage these muscle groups correctly, increase inherent strength, improve breathing and overall health.
LOWER BACK & SPINE
Friday 6 June 7:00-9:00pm
The spine is the vertical axis for your head and pelvis creating ultimate efficient alignment . With gentle undulating curves flowing down from your neck through to your thoracic spine and onto your lower back, each of your vertebrae interconnect and conjointly direct and guide your movement. Gain a greater range of motion in all three planes of movement, deeper awareness, and ease of action to enhance movement with and from your entire spine from your neck through to your lower back. What follows is the discovery of a new sense of movement from these freshly inhabited spaces, sensing how and why everything interacts, inhibits or encourages movement, thereby creating an enriched physical-movement vocabulary for life.
FINGERS-RIBS & TOES-PELVIS: Discovering New Connections
Friday 4 July 7:00-9:00pm
Discover connections from your fingers to your shoulder girdle and ribs, and from your toes to your legs, hips and pelvis. Release tension and holding patterns, and create new pathways of movement and lines of communication. Open up a realm of new possibilities with movement from your upper and lower limbs.
We will trace connections from each finger, to its specific lineage to your hands, out to the radius, ulna, elbow, humerus, shoulder girdle and ribs enabling movement from these discovered places, spaces and experiences.
The same process is applied with equal benefit when tracing connections from your toes through to your feet, tibia, fibula, patella, femur, hips and pelvis. Beneficial for all who experience mobility issues in the upper and lower limbs.
