This is for everyone who wants to move with more ease and freedom.

Join me for some Body Mapping explorations. We all have a body and we all move. We will explore our anatomy from the ‘inside out’ - instead of the common study to anatomy which approaches it from the ‘outside in’ - to help us understand anatomical significance for movement within ourselves. If you can change how you think your body moves, you can change how you move. If you can change how you move, you can change what you feel.
We won't be doing acrobatics but why not be inspired by the co-ordination, freedom in the joints and postural support these three women from the group Mimbre embody! I took the photo at one of their shows the year before Covid. It makes me happy!
The course is both in person and online. 7 June - 5 July.
