Moving to Heal
When we learn how to honour the basic shape and design of our body, we can naturally restore it back to balance
The human body is an amazing machine. While many of our inner systems are not under our direct control, the muscular system is.
This is why connecting to ourselves through dynamic movement including the powerful Essentrics technique and yoga is one of the best ways to improve our well-being.
The human body is a complex collection of interrelated parts and systems. Focusing on working each part of the system in harmony, provides an approachable path to health, one that respects our body’s natural interconnectedness.

MOVEMENT SESSION 01
Essentrics
Essentrics is a dynamic stretching program and, like Ayurveda, it views the body as an interconnected entity of muscles, bones, joints, and tissues. When we learn how to honour the basic shape and design of our body, we can naturally restore it back to balance. Essentrics is a powerful program that unlocks the body and allows energy to flow - improving beyond just our quality of life.

MOVEMENT SESSION 02
Yin-Yoga
Unlike “Yang” forms of exercise, Yin-Yoga focus on a slower and more meditative form of movement. The poses are designed to target deep connective tissues, including fascia, ligaments and tendons. Yin-Yoga allows the practice of self-reflection as we look inward and tune into both our mental chatter and physical sensations.
During this form of yoga, we take the time to hold poses to allow for a deep sense of release as we breathe through these shifts and create more space within.
