Embodiment Classes
We all have a body, we may move our bodies but we rarely inhabit them. These classes are designed to bring you home to your body, to have time and space to connect with yourself, your internal landscape, to drop more deeply into your body as a life force and organism. This process isn't always comfortable, we push past our bodies, our needs and our opportunity for new awareness and move our bodies by use of our large muscle groups, movement created by outside rather than inside, movement that is initiated from our core is less effort and brings with it presentness and aliveness to the moment.
Each class is separate, it can be joined at any point and it is for those who are curious and willing to experience and explore themselves and what life means for them.
All classes are from the body, are experiential in nature, offer a non-judgemental and accepting space and invite your internal voice to yourself to also be.
The classes are informed and held by Radix body centred psychotherapy and growth works that looks at the body as pulsation and is centred on foundations of embodiment, presence, contact, grounding, centring, and the ways in which we individually interrupt our life force and block from feeling.
When we learn to ground we have an antidote to anxiety, when we centre we are in touch with life that has balance, when we are embodied we become present, when we slow down our movement we feel. When we are in touch with our core we know what we have capacity for and what is right for us, when we have purpose from the core we are no longer lost.
Classes will include pair work, larger group work use of the breath, sounding and expression as well as deep connection to the self, relaxing, softening, flowing, use of imagery and visualisaton.
Come as you are. The classes will have different weekly focuses that look at exploring a different embodied theme. It is my hope that through these classes you get to grow more awareness about yourself, understand why you are and do what you do in the way you do it, offering a space to develop and grow, to resource, to support your aliveness.
These classes in part are an education into feeling and purpose, a space to grow capacity for the intensity that is life and to be a wake to life, conscious, to see choices that are available, to find ways of attending to what it is we find valuable.
We work individually, at our own pace, and the classes are an invitation to, no demand is made.
