What if movement wasn't about performing?

Not about how strong you are. Not about keeping up. Not about getting the movement "right".

And definitely not about looking good while you do it.

What if movement could simply be a way to come home to your body?

Elemental Movement is a four-week movement experience where we explore the body through movement, music, breath, balance, strength, mobility and play.

Each week, we explore a different element — Earth, Water, Fire and Air — and use it as an invitation to experience your body in a different way.

It's movement with a little bit of magic, a little bit of sweat, and a lot of curiosity.

This is NOT...

❌ Pilates
❌ Yoga
❌ A dance class
❌ A high-intensity workout
❌ A choreography class
❌ A competition

There is no choreography to learn and no "right" way to move.

You don't need to be a dancer.

You don't need to be fit.

You don't need any previous experience.

You just need a body and a willingness to explore it.

So what DO we actually do?

Each 50-minute class combines:

Movement & mobility
We'll move your whole body, explore mobility and work with your range of movement.

Strength & balance
There will absolutely be moments that challenge your muscles, stability and coordination, this just isn't a class where getting stronger is the only goal.

Flow & free movement
I'll give you a framework and guide you through movement, music and different physical experiences. Within that framework, you get to discover how your body wants to move.

Tune-in
We'll use different ways to connect movement and awareness and to help you tune into what's happening inside your body.

The elements
Each week we'll spend 5–10 minutes exploring the element and how its qualities might show up not just in your body, but in your everyday life.

Play & experimentation
I'll regularly invite you to step outside your usual movement patterns.

What happens when you make a familiar movement completely differently?

What happens when you slow down?

Make it bigger?

Change direction?

Move without planning?

Follow your senses?

There is no need to get it right.

We're here to find out what happens.

THE FOUR WEEKS

🌍 WEEK 1 — EARTH

Thursday 3 September

Root Chakra · Grounding · Stability · Support

We begin with Earth.

We'll explore grounding, stability, balance and support — while also discovering that being grounded doesn't necessarily mean being still.

💧 WEEK 2 — WATER

Thursday 10 September

Sacral Chakra · Flow · Pleasure · Adaptability

Water moves.

It changes shape. It finds its way around obstacles. It doesn't need to force its way through.

This week we'll explore flow, fluidity, rhythm, pleasure and adaptability.

🔥 WEEK 3 — FIRE

Thursday 17 September

Solar Plexus Chakra · Power · Agency · Expression

Fire brings heat, energy, direction and power.

We'll explore strength, activation, taking up space and connecting with your own sense of agency.

🌬️ WEEK 4 — AIR

Thursday 24 September

Heart Chakra · Breath · Expansion · Connection

Air creates space.

Through breath, movement and openness, we'll explore expansion, freedom, connection and the space we create — physically and emotionally.

THE CLASS FORMAT

Each session lasts 45-50 minutes, with 5 minutes before and after the class for arriving and leaving.

We'll start with a short introduction to the week's element and theme.

Then we'll warm up the body with a combination of mobility, strength and physical awareness.

From there, we'll move into the element through music, guided movement, breath and experimentation.

I'll guide you throughout the class, but you won't be expected to copy a choreography or perform for anyone.

I'll give you the container.
You get to explore what happens inside it.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Elemental Movement is for you if you:

• want to move your body without turning movement into another performance

• want to feel more connected to your body

• enjoy music, movement and experimentation

• want to explore movement beyond traditional workouts

• are curious about how your body moves and responds

• want to unwind after your day

• enjoy trying something a little different

• want to challenge yourself without competing with anyone else

• are interested in body awareness, embodiment and self-awareness

All levels are welcome.

You don't need to be strong, flexible, coordinated or experienced.

You don't even need to arrive in a good mood.

Come exactly as you are.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

After years of working as a trainer, I realised how much I missed the simple joy of getting into a room with people and inspiring them to move.

So I'm stepping back into that part of myself.

But I'm bringing everything I've learned since then with me.

This isn't just about training the body.

It's about experiencing the body.

About noticing patterns.

About becoming curious.

About discovering what happens when we move differently.

And, most importantly, about remembering that movement can be joyful.

We'll ideally be moving barefoot.

If you prefer, yoga or Pilates socks are absolutely fine.
