Nagare (流れ) is the Japanese concept of flow—the flow of water, air,
people, time and energy; a stream, current, passage or continuous
process. Inspired by this idea, these ongoing movement training
sessions explore how movement can flow through the body with greater
freedom, ease and awareness.

The training combines principles of energy flow from Tai Chi with
elements of contemporary dance. Taking nature as a model, we work with
the imagery and qualities of water and light, cultivating fluidity,
softness and ease in the body.

Breath is the primordial source of movement. The practice begins with
the floating body, recalling our earliest experience in the
womb—suspended and held in fluid, before our encounter with gravity
and the ground. After birth, the body enters into a new relationship
with weight, gravity and support. From floating to grounding, we
explore heaviness and lightness, tension and relaxation, contraction
and expansion, and the continuous interplay between holding and
release.

The practice also draws on the Japanese concept of Ma (間)—the space
in-between. We create space within the body for breath, imagery and
movement to pass through, exploring the relationship between the space
inside and outside the body.

Through regular practice, the sessions aim to release accumulated
tension, develop fluidity and flexibility, ease physical discomfort,
and cultivate calmness and wellbeing.

Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 11am to 12.30pm in London, UK.
