Our bodies are full of wisdom. The intelligence of life which evolved over billions of years also lives in our own bodies. However, this wisdom has been covered over by layer upon layer of unsupportive, if not outright oppressive cultural, ancestral, familial and personal stories. Our dominant culture prioritises ‘rational thinking’ over feeling and the sensory experience of our bodies. And an entire industry is focused on making us feel that we are not enough, deeply disturbing our connection to the body.

Through our movement practice, we can reclaim our connection to the landscape of our body, inhabit ourselves more fully and find our way back to the support, guidance, vitality and joy inside ourselves. As we begin to be more ‘at home’ in our bodies, we start to bring healing to our disconnection and increase our capacity to meet life’s challenges from a place of resource. We bring our habitual patterns into consciousness and thereby open the door to change.

Embodied practices are a resource in times of challenge and change, because they help us to remember and connect to the greater holding that is available to us from the ground, from the Earth and from Spirit.
