“What is it you actually do that helps people change their pain and current movement habits?”

Here are two stories that illustrate exactly what we do.

When I met Ann she couldn’t walk up the stairs and was in pain. In her 20’s, Ann had an accident that left her with chronic pain. For years she struggled to find solutions, she had tried everything but wasn’t sure where to turn to next. Ann joined lessons online and now moves with more ease and awareness of what she is doing. She knows what to do for herself when pain occurs.

Mags recently had pain in her hips and back. She had been doing Yoga since a teenager and is a Yoga teacher herself. After trying Awareness Through Movement she realised she can take control of her own healing.

“Unbelievable to know that something really quite simple in a way I can have such a radical effect.”

 

How do I know if this movement method is right for me?

Do you have the motivation to change aspects about yourself you wish were different? You will love this work if:

  • you hope to improve your flexibility and range of motion in your joints
  • you are recovering from an injury
  • have tried other traditional approaches without success
  • feel a bit out of touch with your body
  • you want to improve your body awareness
  • wanting to increase your confidence
How is this different from Yoga and Pilates?

Other modalities only focus on a few puzzle pieces, stretching, strengthening, endurance…etc. This movement approach shows you how the whole body works together. Through awareness of what we are doing, we are able to relearn better ways of moving that release excess muscle tension and restore bones to optimal alignment. Giving the body an alternative to conventional popular movement approaches. A dysfunctional system will only be detrimental to the already stressed body.

What should I expect in an Awareness Through Movement group class?

Classes are taught verbally and the participants are guided through the movement sequence. Each lesson is based on a particular function and designed on a precise study of how the nervous system learns best. 

During the lesson, you will lie comfortably clothed on the floor, with your eyes softly closed. The movements are a sequence of gentle actions, to increasingly complex movements that explore your skeletal alignment, breath, muscle tone and sense habits. Awareness Through Movement® classes gives you a chance to retrain your proprioception and expand your muscle memory. This allows your system to accurately sense your movement patterns, to eliminate compulsive and dysfunctional strain.
