Mission Statement

WHY I teach
I believe that intentional movement is a powerful catalyst for personal growth and self-discovery – fostering resilience, self-awareness, and a deep connection with ourselves and others.

HOW I teach
I guide students through a collaborative journey where movement becomes a tool for self-exploration and growth. By blending structured training with opportunities for play and exploration, I aim to cultivate lasting transformation and physical empowerment.

WHAT will you do?
Through the development of your physical attributes, such as strength, flexibility, endurance and motor control, you will build a more resilient body that is prepared to do and experience the things that YOU care about!

Training

Training is a systematic approach to reach a specific goal.

To guide you through this process effectively, I work with a phasic structure I coined the AP Framework.

Assess
To evaluate and better understand your current state, both in terms of physical capability and acknowledging where you are in your journey.

Plan
Creating a path towards your goals by selecting the best tools and methods, setting realistic milestones, and establishing clear expectations.

Act
Implement your plan, using auto-regulation to adjust based on your current state and performance.

Ponder
Reflect on progress and experiences, analyse data and make necessary adjustments to ensure you're on the right track.

Play seriously, live playfully.

While training includes things such as drills, repetitions, and other focused activities that are designed to develop things like strength, endurance, or technical abilities,

exploration and play refer to the more spontaneous and less structured aspects of physical practice.

These are the moments when you're not necessarily following a specific plan or program, but instead are simply moving and experimenting in ways that feel fun and engaging.

To me, a Movement Practice is not just about physical progress; it’s about connecting with the world around you and embracing the present moment. Whether it's the exhilaration of a new challenge, the freedom of unstructured play, or the mindfulness that comes from feeling each movement. Experiencing life through movement allows you to engage with your surroundings, emotions, and your own inner self in profound ways.

Further, exploration and play are actually essential for skill development too. One way to think about the relationship between training, exploration, and play is to see them as complementary aspects of a holistic approach to your physical development. While training provides a solid foundation of technical skill and physical capacity, exploration and play allow you to test and apply those skills in new and varied contexts.

For example, a rock climber might spend a lot of time training in a gym or on specific routes to build strength and technique. But to truly become a skilled and versatile climber, they also need to spend time exploring different types of rock and terrain, playing with different movement patterns or tasks, and adapting to unexpected challenges.

Ultimately, the combination of training, exploration, and play fosters a well-rounded and adaptable practice, empowering you to confidently navigate and embrace the diverse challenges and opportunities that life presents.
