This class is literally on the move! We will be walking for a bulk of the class (because we all need to walk more!) but will stop along the way to utilise movement opportunities that the terrain offers in the moment. A portion of the class will be doing some corrective exercises as well as learning about gait mechanics and other combined natural movements.

Park benches, hills, logs, rocks, trees, beach, textures, playgrounds- each week will be different. All activities are voluntary and scalable for every body.

*Free 6-week online Alignment Essentials: Introductory Programme for background to this approach. Private link will be given on the first session for those that want it.

This class series follows on from the core, pelvis and lower back exercises from last season but is focused on exploring how to move beyond exercises and weave more diverse and dynamic natural human movements into the rest of the day.

No worries if you missed out on last season's classes as we will
layer the exercises into these more dynamic everyday movements.

We will explore the form of natural human movements like lifting, carrying, squatting, ground movements and more. We will work out which parts are more difficult for you, show you how to bolster these to meet you where your body is currently at and give you feedback where you could spend more time or attention with your exercises to reclaim your movement abilities.

The time you spend outside an exercise class has the most impact on your health. Come and explore how you can add more movement to non-exercise time with these natural moves.

If you feel uncertain whether this class is for you- please contact me and we can talk it through.

If you haven't attended any previous series or introductory classes before then you might like to join up for the *Free 6-week online Alignment Essentials: Introductory Programme for background to this approach. Private link will be given on the first session.
