We felt that sometimes these sorts of spaces and fitness-type classes can be challenging to navigate for queer, trans and non-binary folx. So we wanted to offer a safe and inclusive workshop for people to try something new, fun and hopefully empowering.
We will explore more than just movement - using it as a vehicle towards evolution in yourself and the way you connect with others and the world.
Expect a collaborative practice of movement, connection and play - specifically structured with methodical progressions to make it accessible for everyone.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Acro terminology (a universal way to communicate with other practitioners around the world).
Foundational postures/poses in laying and standing positions.
Transitions between postures.
Training and skills in body awareness.
Accessible methodology and exercises to improve strength, flexibility, alignment, body integration, and balance.
… and lots of fun!
Bonus learning:
- Self-discovery
- Healthy communication
- About our relationship to touch, control and trust.
ARE THE ANY PRERQUISITES?
None!* - Everyone is welcome with or without previous experience / a partner.
Everyone will work in groups of three or four. There will be variations/adaptions for all levels, with a focus on foundational skills.
*be prepared to work as part of as team, supporting and uplifting each other.
*endeavour to bring a kind, open and curious mindset.
