Embodied Movement for Well-being

Release deep joint and muscular tension through guided and exploratory gentle movements. Experience the pleasure of moving with an ease and awareness that decreases stress and promotes a sense of well-being.

Embodied movement is a safe and grounded approach to movement. It combines a basic understanding of the muscular-skeletal system with the sensory feedback received from moving.

How can embodied movement help me?

  • Develop your inner ‘listening’ and ‘hearing’ skills
  • Reduce aching or stiff joints
  • Become present and centred in your body
  • Improve balance and postural stability
  • Access inner vitality and inner support
  • Reduce stress and anxiety
  • Find freedom and ease of movement
  • Cultivate a positive perception of your body and health

          and much more

 How does it work?

  • Embodied movement is based on the idea that:
    • When we move, we feel what it is like to move from the inside out. This provides a focus for mindful movement and a way to be in the ‘here and now’
    • Having a ‘felt sense’ or ‘first-hand experience of being in our body’ gives feedback for what we need to regain a sense of well-being and being centred
    • An embodied and integrated sense of oneself can offer clarity in our life choices
    • The slow speed of the movement allows deep tension to release

What can I expect?

  • Within guided parameters each individual is asked to monitor and adapt their own movements to within a safe and comfortable range for them
  • An introduction to the muscular-skeletal system as a basic for focused movement
  • Guided exercises, movement explorations focused on how we use our skeleton to lever us in space and the joints that shape our movements
