Rooted & Responsive
2.5 hours, including a 75-minute full practice
We begin with interactive exercises and lectures to understand what it means to be grounded and how stability is about adaptability. Not just physically but mentally. When we understand the fascial connections and our centre of gravity, we also shape how we show up in the world with those connections. This opens us to possibilities in movement and perception. We then move into a complete embodied practice exploring the relationship between the feet, legs and pelvis. We’ll investigate how the body receives support from the ground and how force, sensation and movement travel through the fascial network.
You’ll find freedom in balances and a lightness in how you transition from one shape to the next. You’ll follow the language of the body and let the mind remain the observer.
Lunch is not included, but a pre-booked £15 fully plant based delicious lunch and herbal tea at Dandelion Cafe will be available to order. An email will be sent to confirm your booking.
Participants may submit this workshop toward their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours.

Two Day Immersion: Movement from Within - Fascia, Embodiment & the Art of Listening
We are often taught yoga through shapes: where to place the foot, how far to stretch, what a posture should look like. But the body doesn’t experience movement as a collection of separate shapes. There is an inherent intelligence that we’ve lost touch with. The body experiences sensation, rhythm, relationship, memory and response. We can learn how to have a dialogue with the body.
This 2 day immersion with internationally recognised teacher and movement educator Julie
Martin is an invitation to move beyond the external form of yoga and enter into a deeper
conversation with your body.
Through 3 interconnected sessions, we’ll explore fascia as a living, sensory network—and
discover how it influences the way we move, feel, adapt and respond. Each session will
combine a complete embodied yoga and movement practice with accessible, experiential
learning.
Rather than imposing movement upon the body, you’ll learn how to listen, respond and move with greater curiosity. You’ll explore how strength can coexist with fluidity, how support can create freedom and how awareness can transform even the most familiar practice.
This isn’t about achieving more advanced postures. It’s about developing a more responsive, intelligent and deeply personal relationship with your body.
