embodied movement YOGA
These classes combine gentle somatic movement, Pilates-informed work for healthy core and pelvic floor function, and traditional Yoga poses and flows, ending with relaxation.
We move slowly and mindfully, with an emphasis on strength, stability and functional movement. There’s plenty of attention to the nuances of each movement, rather than simply moving through a sequence.
Experience is needed: these classes are suitable for anyone who has completed my Beginners/Foundation course or has some experience of Yoga or another mind/body movement practice such as Pilates. If you’re unsure whether the class is right for you, please get in touch.
Please note that classes include kneeling, all-fours positions, knee-down lunges and transitions between the floor and standing. If you have limited mobility or significant knee problems, these classes are unlikely to be suitable.
Somatics is slow, gentle movement that helps you become more aware of your body, release habitual tension and rediscover easier ways of moving. I think of it as the intersection between movement, meditation and relaxation.
Classes are mostly floor-based, using small, unhurried movements, gentle contractions and releases, and plenty of time to notice how things feel from the inside. Rather than stretching or pushing for a particular shape, we work with curiosity and attention, allowing the body to find more ease.
The approach is based primarily on Hanna Somatics, with elements of Feldenkrais and Body-Mind Centering. No previous experience is needed and the classes are suitable for most people.
You’ll need to be comfortable lying on your back, front and side for periods of time, and able to get down to and up from the floor independently.
SOMATICS
Pre-booking essential. Bookings are non-refundable and non-transferable unless the teacher cancels the class or at the discretion of the teacher in the case of serious, unexpected life circumstances.
