It might seem like a long list, but this mind-body mindful movement practice can help with all these things – and more!
Whether you are more sedentary than you would like to be, or need to train for and recover from sports or racing around ‘doing life’, I have created a system of intelligent movement, brain-based activations and other techniques that in many cases delivers IMMEDIATE effects on flexibility and mobility, as well as improving how you feel in both the short and longer term (with regular practice!).
This complements other activities – I personally need this in my life to balance out sports that give my body a beating, as well as training at the gym and running around with my two young children (and trying to keep ahead of them in the sports I’m teaching them!). I am continually adding to my toolbox and weave a variety of life-enhancing practices into class.
This class gives you a chance to take time out from your busy week, and give your soma, or mind/body, the nourishment it needs. Taking time in your body and out of your thinking mind – refreshing, restorative and transformative!
What Can You Expect in Class?
We start with a time to check-in or tune in to your body with some breath awareness, or a simple breath practice, allowing the chatter and noise of your mind to quieten and ensure you get the most from the class.
We then move through a varied series of poses, flows, techniques and sequences with options for all bodies. This includes:
Somatic Yoga,
Neurotraining,
Lymph Flow Practices
Mobility Training Techniques,
Resistance Stretching,
Biomechanics Coaching Techniques,
Postural Therapy (Egoscue Method & Postural Restoration Institute practices)
Chi Kung,
Energy Practices, Breathwork & Pranayama
And we always end with a deep & restorative relaxation!
Your brain is in charge of the tension in your body, so you can release tension almost instantly when you engage the brain effectively. Somatics and NeuroTraining techniques enable you to release chronic stress-based tension and rebalance and realign both physically and mentally, with often instant effects!
This system is a powerful practice that creates freedom of movement as well as having a profound energetic effect, giving you a sense of freedom in your Soma (mind-body). There’s an emphasis on ‘interoception’ or the first person experience of being you that only you have, throughout the practice – with practice of deepening awareness and increased focus on the more subtle elements of movement gives our brain a chance to ‘map’ these movements more effectively, creating a stronger foundation which increases strength and performance.
I also offer one to one sessions, where I can create a bespoke programme depending on your individual needs and goals. A short, regular home-based practice is a great complement to weekly sessions too, and I can help you with specific techniques and practices.
If you have any questions please do get in touch, and I hope to see you in a class soon!
