The Listening Body
2.5 hours
Best paired with Rooted & Responsive
Through understanding the nervous system, we’ll explore how habits, lived experience and our sense of safety can influence movement. Through smaller embodied enquiries, reflection and discussion, participants will begin to recognise familiar patterns and discover new possibilities.
We then take the ‘learned knowledge’ and put it into a movement practice. Unravelling
resistance and finding strength in fluidity.
“How we move changes how we feel about ourselves. How we feel about ourselves changes how we show up in the world. Movement with freedom is crucial” - Julie Martin
Participants may submit this workshop toward their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours.
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.

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.
