Sioda Martin will be running her next 6-week Body Rhythms course from Saturday 31^st March 1.30-3pm. There will be a workshop on the 25^th March for anyone who would like a taster of what Body Rhythms is.

In the workshop you will learn the unique practice, which is based on the Ashtanga sequence, combining it with techniques from dance training. It is a mat based practice that works through the body, building strength and flexibility in the small muscle groups that help to make a big difference to your control over your balance, posture and flexibility, with focus on the feet, hips and deep core muscles. Another element of the practice is to train your body to work with more length and freedom to free up unnecessary tension in areas that you do not want it, such as the hips, shoulders and neck.

After an initial introduction to Body Rhythms, we will then have fun playing and experimenting with release and direction in the body, influenced by rhythm, to bring a different flow to the practice and challenge the body in letting go yet with control. We will also focus on shift of weight and falling into the floor, to help to build courage when attempting certain balancing postures and you will learn some simple partner work that you can use to help each other.

Come to play on the 25^th March and receive a £5 discount when you book on to the 6-week Body Rhythms course!          

Workshop 1-4pm: £3o           6-week Course: £60
