Classes for children

pexels-yan-krukov-8613169.jpg

The class is a mixture of games, creative movement and individual work with the teacher.

 

Children will learn :

 

  • How to be more in touch and aware of their own physicality

  • How to release tension

  • How to move with less effort

  • How to open their awareness of themselves in space and in relation to others

  • The difference between letting go (slumping), tensing and the preferred state in-between

  • The power to choose how to react to outside stimuli

 

The technique helps the children be more centred and anchored. As they progress in the work their self confidence will grow alongside their self awareness and natural poise. Ultimately by regaining their natural alignment their attention span and learning skills also improve.

"The child is always attracted by machinary; indeed, to find out 'how it works' is the natural desire of every child... "

Moving with Ease & Freedom
Workshops for Adults

This is the first module consisting of five workshops that leads to a deeper understanding of how to move easily and effortlessly in daily or professional activity.  The workshops are practical and experiential so that you can explore ideas and adapt them to your particular issue with the teachers guidance. There is an order of learning within the course structure though this can vary according to your needs and requests.​ The premise of the work is how we operate as a whole system. How our thoughts and ideas intertwine with our physicality.  It begins by considering how we are supported on the ground and how much effort is required to remain upright.  ​

​Within this theme we will explore:

​

  • simple movements such as standing, sitting and walking

  • the importance of awareness and spotting potential harmful habits​

  • how the balance mechanism works and how to be centred

  • how to begin adapting this knowledge in everyday life

​

As we go through this material, we will also take time to look at common misconceptions about posture, sitting up straight, ‘getting it right’ amongst others.

​

To benefit the most from the work, you are encouraged to explore and reflect on your newly acquired knowledge in-between workshops.  Each time we will begin with your comments, feedback and questions. They serve to guide the ongoing sessions, ensure understanding and keep the content relevant to your concerns.
