We’d like to invite you to experience a unique 3-hour movement workshop to be held on Saturday morning 25th January 2025 at Neuadd Esceifiog in Gaerwen. The intention is to hold 6 such workshops across 2025.
Workshop 1 is all about movement! After all, movement is life! It will be a fun fuelled (I promise) playful 3-hour workshop inspired by such movement philosophies as Qigong, Feldenkrais and the Martial Arts. Let me assure you that there will be no contact martial arts taking place!!
Within the movement workshop I will introduce a variety of games using tennis balls, balls on a string, judo belts, small blocks of wood such as used in Jenga, and your imagination! Amazingly, simple open games can have an incredible effect on complexity. They provide probably the best environment for development and nourishment of our body-mind complex.
Think about your spine. It is the central pillar of the body, supporting its structure while enabling flexibility and movement through the coordination of surrounding muscles. It houses and protects the spinal cord, a critical highway for nerve signals that regulate all bodily functions. We each have postural habituations, found in such postures as sitting, standing, moving (endless list here). We very rarely ever change from these patterns of life. We habituate all our movements.
Food for thought: 99% of chronic pain is NOT due to tissue damage!
Expected benefits: when the spine feels free and healthy, you will feel free and healthy!
It doesn’t matter if you practice martial arts, dance, go to the gym occasionally, or don’t exercise at all—releasing tension in the spine is essential for both our physical and mental health.
So let’s play more.
From 10 am to 1 pm, explore whole-body movement patterns inspired by QiGong, Feldenkrais and the Martial arts. This playful, low-intensity workshop will help you reconnect with your body and improve your movement habits.
The workshop concludes with some healthy homemade snacks, coffee, and tea, and a natter!
So come and join us in exploring and improving your movement vocabulary. I guarantee you will feel alive, curious, and full of energy at the close of the workshop.
All you need is an open mind, a dose of curiosity, a squirt of motivation, and a playful inquiry!
