A movement and meditation session designed for deep body-opening and powerful restoration.
Much of our lives are spent at heightened speed, whether practically or purely emotionally; in the cadence of our thoughts and volume of our feelings. This has profound impact, not only on the body's felt sense and capabilities, but the nervous system, hormonal health and wider well-being.
The beauty of conscious movement is its ability to ground us, even when "exerting effort". And the beauty of pilates - it's ability to work with the whole body and whole being to create experiences of systemic healing through a moving body. This warming Friday evening session will offer the connection, attention and nourishment your system craves - all while being deeply within your opening limbs.
Anthea Bell is a Polestar Pilates Mentor, Embodiment Coach and Podcaster (Finding Your Way Home Podcast). Her passion for movement began as a teenager, discovering yoga as an avenue for stilling an overly-active mind. But it wasn't until a major back injury in her 20s (and the chronic pain that followed) that she was introduced to pilates. What started as rehabilitation quickly became a way of daily moving & living, providing not only deep strength but access to an integration she'd never experienced. From here, teacher training and eventually Polestar Pilates - the place she found her home as teacher and Mentor. Alongside the physical work has always been Anthea's fascination with the mental~emotional, and how these intertwine. Anthea is a certified Psychological Fitness Specialist, Embodiment Coach and training Integral Coach. She specialises in bringing people home to themselves in mind and body - releasing story & restriction, connecting to deeper knowing and felt sense, and liberating a life of untapped potential. Podcasting has emerged as the natural extension of everything she does - and a profoundly meaningful way of connecting to people more widely. Having experienced the transformative impact of true healing, she is utterly committed to supporting that in others.
