Are you body confident when it comes to movement? Many people long to be agile and athletic, to run, jump, and express themselves fluidly and freely through movement in sport, athletics or dance. Progress can feel like an uphill struggle though. Perhaps we feel clumsy and awkward, and unable to connect our brain with our body. Or maybe we make rapid progress at the start, then stall.
“Practice makes perfect” they say, yet practice alone doesn’t work for everybody, and lots of people default to the belief that some people are natural movers and others are not. As an experienced teacher of movement studies, I believe something different.
Empowering Movement through Science and New Techniques
In recent times, a growing body of research has discovered so much about how different parts of the body work together to produce movement. Today, more than ever, we have consistent techniques for producing accurate controlled movement, which make it possible to learn how to move in empowering ways. This is where the brand new ‘Anatomy of Movement’ course, scheduled to begin later this month at City Lit, comes in.
The ‘Anatomy of Movement’ course enables students to understand movements from the inside out. Movement is not just a rigid shape that we read from a demonstration, then impose upon our body. Rather, graceful fluid action originates from deep within the body as the bones, joints and muscles interact with one another in harmonious patterns.
The Body is the Only Tool You Need
On the ‘Anatomy of Movement’ course, students explore how to build movements interactively, by integrating information about anatomy of movement with body work in class. Thus, they instantly convert theory into practical knowledge about co-ordination skills for sport, athletics, dance, and everyday life. No bats, balls, ballet shoes or football boots are required, however, all you need is your body and a willingness to engage in a fun and interactive learning environment.
Who Can Benefit from This Course?
Whether your interests lie in performance, teaching, self-expression, competing, staying active, longevity of movement, or the body confidence to enter a room with presence and poise, this course is there to help you towards your movement goals.
