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. DNS allows us to inquire about our
posture through movement, creating more awareness and more stable movement patterns.
This work is profound and powerful, and can be applied to ALL your current movement practices/exercises.
​
Darren and Bianca will gently guide us in workshops, to break things down to the simplest of steps, using breath, and simple postures, and contextualise them with yoga, functional movement, strength and mobility exercises.

Bring home deep self awareness of your posture through movement
​
​
​
Whether you're a surfer, horse-rider, yogi, golfer or just starting a movement journey, it just feels so good to be connected to a stable point within our body.
The more we practice, the easier it feels, and the more the brain will take it on as an unconscious movement pattern!
Moving with relative ease as opposed to creating more tension.
​
​
The strong focus on body awareness, invites us to listen and tune in to not only where our body is in space, but also how we feel as we move.

"Whether consciously or not, in every instant, we are practising certain ways of moving. Intentional practice is the mechanism by which we can observe and alter our own movement patterns and enhance the quality and longevity of the way we are moving through life."
