movement
Our contemporary lifestyle brings with it a set of habitual movement patterns, potentially creating imbalance and discomfort in our bodies and minds. Join our eclectic team of movement facilitators for workshops and classes on our regular schedule including Yoga, Dance, Movement, Feldenkrais, and more, to:
relearn essential movement patterns and bring balance back into the body and mind;
unravel held tensions and cultivate freedom of expression and joy; and
discover the subtle arts of embodied mindfulness and ancient energetics through a range of healing practices.
FEldenkrais
Exploring developmental movement patterns, these lessons with Nicole Harstead will have you experiencing yourself in a whole new way. Feldenkrais aims to bring about more strength, balance, fluidity, ease and calm in the body. This gentle class will take you through movements that may have dropped out of your movement vocabulary whether from age, injury, trauma or just bad habits, and leave you feeling lighter, freer and in less pain. Classes run in 6 weeks blocks, check the timetable for the current schedule.
Breathwork
Breath Rites is an invitation to experience you, all of you, as you are.
Through the use of Breathwork and somatic guidance techniques you’ll learn how to listen to and access the wisdom of your own internal guidance system - your body.
The Breath allows us to dive into our feelings and bring awareness to deeper information about ourselves and our environment that the brain may otherwise override or dismiss, usually in an attempt to ‘keep us safe.’
We learn to listen, we learn to be present with ourselves and most importantly, we learn how to breath through it all.
Breath-Rites is for every BODY. You can’t do it wrong. All you need is a body and a breath.
DANCE
Up here on The Fourth Floor, we like to get down! There are so many benefits to moving and expressing through dance. It builds fitness and co-ordination, is healing and transformative and is most of all SO. VERY. FUN! Alejandra from Chile brings us Beat Latina - a lively, rich, accessible Afro-Latino dance class that journeys across the continents and honours indigenous culture and leaves you sweating and grinning like a child!
