This unique retreat will take a deep dive into DNS, Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation, using the very framework of movement and posture that we developed over the first year of life as an infant.
​
We begin by observing our posture through movement,
and create more awareness of how we are moving.
We can then relearn more stable, functional movement patterns
and bring longevity into our physical body.
This work is profound and powerful, and can be applied to ALL your current movement practices/exercises.

​
​
Making our movements sustainable, so that we can continue to do the things we love, for as long as we want
​
​
Whether you're a surfer, horse-rider, yogi, golfer or even starting a movement journey, it just feels so good to be stable and strong while moving.
When we begin to learn to move in this way, it's often that we experience those "AHA" moments. These make all the difference.
The more we learn, then put into practice, the easier it feels, and with time, the brain will take it on as an unconscious movement pattern.
​
Moving with EASE and STABILITY..!
