Beyond the Shape

Invite the stories that live in your body to be expressed in movement, through sensation, curiosity and connection. An embodied practice starts us off so that we can feel into our own sense of stability, structure and space. Afterwards, we’ll begin exploring fascia as a living sensory network and consider what changes when we stop focusing on what movement looks like and begin listening to what it feels like.

Participants may submit this workshop toward their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours.

2.5 hours, including a 75-minute full practice

Best paired with The Listening Body

We begin with interactive exercises and lectures to understand what it means to be grounded and how stability is about adaptability. Not just physically but mentally. When we understand the fascial connections and our centre of gravity, we also shape how we show up in the world with those connections. This opens us to possibilities in movement and perception. We then move into a complete embodied practice exploring the relationship between the feet, legs and pelvis. We’ll investigate how the body receives support from the ground and how force, sensation and movement travel through the fascial network.

You’ll find freedom in balances and a lightness in how you transition from one shape to the next. You’ll follow the language of the body and let the mind remain the observer.

The Listening Body

2.5 hours

Best paired with Rooted & Responsive

Through understanding the nervous system, we’ll explore how habits, lived experience and our sense of safety can influence movement. Through smaller embodied enquiries, reflection and discussion, participants will begin to recognise familiar patterns and discover new possibilities.

We then take the ‘learned knowledge’ and put it into a movement practice. Unravelling

resistance and finding strength in fluidity.

“How we move changes how we feel about ourselves. How we feel about ourselves changes how we show up in the world. Movement with freedom is crucial” – Julie Martin
