Move Better
A specialist and exclusive course offering a combination of Somatic movement, Yoga and the principles of the Alexander Technique to help you reclaim movement in your body and release pain and become more active again.

Somatic movement, like that of Yoga and the Alexander Technique is about body-mind integration. You will become aware of the way you move, how your body has adapted to your muscles becoming tight or restricted due to habitual patterns, motional stress, injuries or trauma. The skills you learn will help reawaken movement and flexibility and improve the effectiveness of your breathing. It’s not just an exercise class but a mindful practice which de-stresses the nervous system helping you to feel relaxed, calmer and your energy restored.
