Autumn from Sept 7th 2026

These on-going weekly classes are stand-alone so that you can drop-in as you wish and start in any week. If you are able to come regularly you will get a more complete picture. All the themes overlap and interweave, so coming on different days works too.

In each series of lessons we will address how we put our movement together, exploring and improving the fundamental habitual ways we tend to use ourselves, or get in our own way!

We will discover more approaches to reduce unneccessary difficulty and strain and find clearer movement pathways that use our whole selves to move with less effort and more clarity of intent.

When you run or walk, does all of you face forward? Really?
When you stretch your arm out to reach or push or pull, how does your arm turn?
When you look behind you, how much of you twists?
When you get up from the floor, what is the most efficient pathway?
From simple everyday tasks to power sports and martial arts, spirals and curves
underpin and enable movement – if we can stay agile and not get in our own way.
Come and explore!

Sometimes we need to ‘un-crunch’, undo some tension, learn or refresh our ability to stand tall, stride out, reach up, bend, twist, touch the ground.
So how do we find that length again?
Do we keep stretching? Push ourselves more? Find a way to ‘relax’?
What if we can find length by using our whole selves in an integrated way so we don’t end up pushing and pulling against ourselves?
What would that involve? How would that feel?
This theme gives us the opportunity to explore finding (or re-finding) length in a wide variety of directions.
