New! LIVE in-person workshop.
WALK THIS WAY!
A day of gentle movement - with lunch!
How old do you feel (or feel you look) as you walk?
Have you ever recognised someone from a distance - by the way they walk?
We all have a unique gait pattern due to the tension we hold in our nervous system.
Have you ever thought about how you walk?
It's an incredible one-legged balancing act that you recreate over and over again!
Have you ever thought about how your limbs 'talk' to each other to coordinate your walking pattern?
Or how your spine spirals with every step you take?
Many of us take walking (like breathing) for granted, we do it without really noticing how we do it.
It's not until something goes 'wrong' and our walk is affected that we start to notice areas of ourselves have become restricted.
When and where?

Let's come together again!
Whether you are a complete beginner or an improver there is something for everyone in this workshop.
This mini-workshop will briefly cover how Somatics works and why it is so effective at releasing chronically contracted muscles. We will focus our attention on the centre and the upper half of the body, however, if you have lower body pain please do consider this workshop, you may be pleasantly surprised by the results!
Pain is not always where the problem is.
Informational handouts, light refreshments & free recordings of the moves on the day are included the price!
The only requirement to take part is you are able to lie on the floor. If this will be a challenge for you do not worry, I recommend experiencing a private session that will be tailored for your personal needs.

Learn to release pain & tension from your body with Somatics
NEW DATE TBC
Simple activities can be hard to do when we are in pain and it can be hard to remember what life was like before pain took hold. It is empowering when you can free yourself of chronic pain and tension.
In this workshop, I will share with you...
• What Somatic Education is and how it works
• How we create tension in our bodies and what we can do to release it
• Simple ideas to change the way we move that can be put into place straight away!
• Why it is not healthy to keep pulling in those abdominal muscles and how you can break this habit
• Why it is better to address the body as a whole rather than spot-fixing a single area
• How muscles work and why we do not stretch in Somatics
• How you can improve the way you move and feel with very little effort
• Informational handouts and a free recording of the moves on the day
We will cover simple movement patterns to help release the body's front, back, and sides, creating more freedom of movement.
