movement classes
We believe humans are made to move, and are especially passionate about the healing properties of movement.
Our integrative movement classes are delivered by experienced practitioners with training in Pilates, Feldenkrais, somatics, yoga, strength and conditioning and other trauma-informed movement practices.

When we think of alpha brainwaves, we think of a more relaxed state. This small group class offered on Wednesday evenings over 50 minutes is inspired by the traditional lineage of hatha yoga and includes a thoughtfully paced mix of movement, mindfulness and breathwork to regulate the nervous system. You can expect to explore a number of shapes against gravity and a whole lot of options offered to suit your unique needs in the moment.

Beta brainwaves are associated with being more alert. These small group classes offered throughout the week are inspired by modern physiotherapy, strength and conditioning and Pilates and invite a maximum of three participants to move through individually designed programs over 50 minutes. Beta will meet you where you are at, providing you with endless opportunities to develop kinaesthetic literacy and physical conditioning with high levels of oversight.

Daydreaming and reduced states of consciousness are associated with theta brainwaves. Inspired by the practice of yin yoga, you will be invited to move towards rest and relaxation during this largely floor-based class over 55 minutes on Thursday evenings. You can expect a slower pace, longer holds in shapes as well as considered propping and transitions for those with orthostatic challenges.

Our deepest state of rest and rejuvenation is marked by the presence of delta brain waves. Yoga nidra, or yogic sleep, is an ancient practice that allows us to access this state. This group class invites a maximum of twelve participants to move through a pre-choreographed class over 55 minutes. You can expect a floor-based practice that is more similar to a guided meditation that will leave you feeling replenished and whole.
Your practitioner is likely recommend a number of individual sessions before you join your first class. This is intended as an introduction to movement with close supervision as you learn what works best for you and prepare your body and nervous system for a class environment.
We'll usually check in with you to see how you're feeling on the day and what's been happening for you before creating a plan for your class.
There will likely be one or two other humans in your class, but you'll all be moving through your own individually designed programs and you can engage with the group as much or as little as you like.
Your practitioner will be there to assist with the set up of your program, providing you with verbal instructions, cues and dosages. We can provide hands on corrections and your practitioner will check in with you on your preferences around this.
We'll give you some space to explore the movements prescribed but we're always close by if something isn't feeling right.
The class itself is 50 minutes long, leaving your practitioner some time to answer questions, tidy up and document your program before your time together comes to an end.
