In this weekend workshop we will explore anatomy and kinesiology with a focus on the skeletal system as a foundation for teaching and embodiment.

Come and explore your own bones and joints, and dive deeply into an experience of how movement travels through your body and shapes your patterns.

No previous experience necessary.

(PS -  I've taught this workshop in my hometown every year for more than 15 years - and each year we end up talking about different ideas!)
