Movement Before Medicine

Empower your body.  Tell your truth.

EXPERIMENTAL MOVEMENT Playing with the norm, creating challenge, deconstructing how I think I move. This 10kg bar felt A LOT heavier today due to me being in my luteal phase of my cycle. But moving slowly felt good and good me deeply into my body. This phase in our cycle, also known as the inner winter under @red.school philosophy, is a time to began retreating from the world, letting go of the months actions and appreciating the space without trying to fill it with “stuff”. Would you like to move with your cycle and support it? Pls contact me for more info.

INVESTING IN OUR POTENTIAL Feeling incredibly passionate about inspiring our youth for a brighter tomorrow. Moving with the amazing @millwall_mct_academy showed me their amazing potential for understanding and change. These strong, passionate young women need to connect more with their bodies to create a strong voice for us to connect with. If any child in your community and family is suffering from anxiety, depression and confusion, please contact me to discuss support. They just need to understand heir body to create a container for that wild mind.

LEARNING FROM THAT FALL I’m human. I try and sometimes it doesn’t go to plan, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t work because my body starts learning what to do when that fall starts to happen. If you constantly stay in a safe place, your body will never learn to understand the pattern within that movement, and you stay within that boundary always looking at what others are achieving. Trust me when I tell you YOU can. This is my handstand push up negative I’m studying with @schoolofcalisthenics Looking forward to seeing you boys and awesome girl in Feb @loughtonmovementclinic PS - remember to always laugh when you fall. The body doesn’t take it so seriously then 😉

BREAKING DOWN THE PATTERN - within every movement is a series of patterns that gets us to the end result. Break it down, find the weak spot and work on it. You’ll get there, always.

EXPRESSION - my fingers, body and soul had been asking for this for to long (actually woke up to a loud voice Friday morning screaming PAINT! A hint couldn’t get any clearer). My habitual excuses of not having enough of this and that, getting it wrong, not being good enough..... but after a mobility session to some awesome tunes, creativity won. #beacreative

CHALLENGING THE NORM - “If I’d have known what this was at the start, I would have walked out. But I’ve really enjoyed it”. #wildspirit #workshop @twistedyogabarnet yesterday challenged every expectation these people have. No mats (WTF?!?), use your own creativity, move like a dragon (that’s it!.....), spinal rolling and martial arts...... But we all got curious and everyone stayed till the end! We created patterns of movement which lead to this, their own private dance, before nailing the first 2 sections of the #Budokon primary series. Feeling totally honoured to have moved with these awesome souls ❤️ 🎧 @si_bonobo

MAGICAL TRANSFORMATION - preparing for my two workshops this Saturday: Wild Spirit @twistedyogabarnet #barnet and New Moon Soul Sister Celebration @thelodge.space #bermondsey I’m excited to create a space full of stories from our ancestors, enabling us to listen to the ones we tell ourselves every day. To experiment with our movement and to be inspired to move by the sounds we can hear. And finally, embrace a community full of inspiration. It’s not to late to book your place at either. Don’t let your story stop you from an experience of experimentation, play, love and laughter.

TRUST - what has my travels and studies of movement and health taught me? That when you trust, you believe in better and that you are stronger, more capable and full of beauty. But how are you expressing that beauty? Because if we are emotionally dominant, we are not offering the amazing person we really are. My time at @budokonuniversity with a band of brothers and sisters I didn’t even know before walking through those doors helped me see the person I was trying to be and more importantly, always was. Find those people, search them out, learn from them, but most importantly love them. That’s where the trust starts.
