"Shape of Mum" movement workshop

This bespoke movement class is created for mothers, offering a playful and compassionate investigation ​into how motherhood impacts our bodies and movement. It invites you to explore and embrace the concept of the "​Shape of Mum”. Our goal is to help you find space to release tension, boost energy, and connect with others in a supportive environment.

In this class you will see influences of yoga, Feldenkrais, Laban, contemporary dance, and actor movement techniques. No prior movement experience necessary - just come as you are!

​

The trio of workshops have been created to build and develop skills over time​. However​, each session can be enjoyed as a standalone drop-in class.

​

We will working our way through the body focusing each week on an area of interest.

​

Sunday 14th September - Workshop 1 - The Spine

​

Engaging the whole length our body to find more flow and connection in our everyday movement - great if feeling fixed / compressed / stuck in mum shapes.

​

Sunday 12th October - Workshop 2 - Legs and Pelvis

​

For grounding and finding strength and power - when feeling heavy and sluggish or flighty and untethered.

​

Sunday 16th November - Workshop 3 - Shoulders and Ribs

​

Opening the chest and releasing tension from neck and shoulders, and promoting easeful breathing - if breast feeding / lifting / holding a lot right now this will help.

​

There will be the opportunity for conversation and reflection over a herbal tea at the opening and closing of each​ session.

​We will be holding these sessions in a childfree space to enable everyone to fully immerse themselves in the workshop.
