About Me
I have been studying these Chinese movement exercises for 17 years, and been teaching for the past 9 years. My interest was sparked when after seeing myself in some photographs I realised that not only was my body overly tense, but that since in these photos I was in my early 30's it was clear they had already become an a part of me, without me noticing. I also lacked energy and felt very stressed all of the time, like most of my friends I thought it was the start of old age and tried to turn back the tide by joining the gym and becoming "fit", only to realise that this system was never going to work for me.
Luck would have it that I found a class run by a student of Bruce Frantzis. The material I was shown challenged every concept of what it was to be fit and healthy and to have free unrestricted movement in my body, it was the most inspirational and the most rewarding work I had ever done. Slow simple movements, yet ones that had enormous depth and brought clear results. When I finally understood that a healthy body could be achieved by relaxation and quiet committed practice it was a revelation. I was "sold" as they say, on this way of keeping healthy
Since those early days I have attended many full time training courses each year, often directly with Bruce Frantzis, and gained instructor status. I have also worked continuously with his senior students for the past17 years, attending week, weekend and fortnight specialist courses in France and Crete to further my understanding. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating"- these slow gentle movements began to change and unlock my body, releasing and relaxing tight muscles, freeing up areas locked in pain for years, making me stronger and raising my energy levels.
I want to pass these life changing movements onto others, and I now run regular classes in Tunbridge Wells in Kent, and in Lewes in East Sussex, sharing this material. My aim is to show that no matter how old you are you, or what injuries or health you may have, you can take control of your health, rid your body of longstanding pain and restriction, and gain the ability to quieten down the monkey mind, bringing a calm and clearer mind. These are readily obtainable skills that everyone, with a little practice, can have, and be able to benefit from. If you don't have your health you don't have anything.
You always work at your own level, the lessons only move at the pace of the people in the class. The success is in the system, just become quietly committed, turn up and practice - that's it.
