Movement Meditation – ‘5 Rhythms’ event

Do you want to exercise but can’t follow a class or have 2 left feet?

Would you like to be more at peace with yourself?

Would you like to be able to navigate the chaos of life more easily?

Like to dance, have fun and not be judged?

If so this is for you…join us …No previous experience of dance needed, and all are welcome young, old, fit or unfit. No steps to learn and nothing to get right or wrong and no judgement from the teacher. You dance at your level.

We will go through the rhythms so that you can begin to feel them in your own way; you will be encouraged to “FLOW”  for yourself then to allow the beat to take you into “STACCATO”,  to then move into “CHAOS” with curiosity; to drop into “LYRICAL” and find that part of yourself that wishes to sing and embrace everything and then lastly to find peace and quiet in “STILLNESS”.

The focus is on being conscious of what is present for us in the moment, how your movement is affected by your thoughts and your feelings. It is not about how well you or anyone else performs.

The music is varied: electronica, jazz, classical, pop, rock and roll, alternative, some fast some slow.

Wear loose comfortable clothes; layers to remove as you warm up and put back on as you cool down. Wear comfortable shoes or dance bare foot as socks are too slippery on the wood floor. Bring some water.

As Dr. William W. Purkey  said:

dance …as if no one is watching
love …as you’ve never loved before
live …as if heaven is here on earth”

 20 steps to beat stress 

Stress might be the norm these days, but that doesn’t mean it has to be that way for you.

It is agreed, by the medical profession, that stress is the cause or aggravates most diseases, yet they continue to treat the symptom not the cause. Come and find out how you can  deal with the cause.

Why spend time and energy managing stress when you can get rid of it?
Discover some simple things you can do that will help you unwind and really release the tension in your body and make a huge difference to your stress levels.

 You can get rid of fear, anxiety, anger, guilt, frustration and all the parts of stress you don’t need which are getting in the way of you performing at your best!  You will also see a demonstration of EMDR. This will help you regain clarity, energy and sleep better too.

 Feet, balance and walking

Our feet enable us to do so many things yet we often take them for granted. They are the basis of good balance and when used correctly for walking are powerful tools for self healing. (It is easy to tell if you are walking well, by looking at the soles of you shoes and see if they wear evenly)  Having happy feet can make you feel happy too!

Feet and walking workshop

Do you find walking difficult or painful?  Would you like to feel light on you feet and able to move freely?

Walking is part of our every day life.  It is more than the act of going from A to B , it is also a reflection of our state of mind.

Walking can be a joy but for some it is a dread and feels like a burden, a chore because of  the pain or discomfort it causes, not just in the feet but in many other areas of the body, knees, hips, back and even the neck.

Discover how to help yourself  with simple movements and techniques you can use everyday to help you re-discover the joy of walking.

See these before and after videos: painful hips,  painful knee
You can find out more by attending my talks 

During this workshop you will:

Find out how you are actually walking, even if you think you are walking properly you might be surprised. (You can look at your shoes to see if the soles are wearing evenly or not)

You will be able to see how you are walking and what you are doing that is contributing to your discomfort and begin to correct this.

Practice some ways to relax your feet, how to ease aching  sore feet, including massaging your feet (even if you can’t reach them),  make them more comfortable so that walking becomes easier and a pleasure.

Discover how you can improve your balance.

Explore how your thinking affects your balance and walking.

At the end of this workshop you will see how your walking has changed and feel how to walk with more ease and comfort.
