Authentic Flow

These classes prioritise giving you agency over your body and choices. Classes are trauma sensitive and open to all 'levels' of practitioners, however some previous 'experience' with yoga or forms of movement is recommended.

  • Inspired by my studies with the school of Authentic Flow.  "Authentic Flow is a somatic approach to movement through which we listen, taste, see, feel, inquire and learn to embody our bodies as a living, feeling and exploring creative process of becoming." Through somatic inquiry the intention is to cultivate a deeper connection to the body, learning to listen and respond to the internal language of the body through movement and somatic explorations of yoga asana and free movement. We explore yoga philosophy from an embodied perspective, meaning we explore it from within the experiential playground of the body.  These classes use music as a soundscape to support the journey of embodiment.

Shake the Dust

This is a ‘somatic release’ class. Somatic release techniques are body-based practices & methods used to release emotions, or “energy”, such as stress, upset, anger, tension or trauma. In this practice, we journey between perpetual movement, rest, release and free movement. It's a little bit like HIIT, but deep, and much more fun.

  • This is a ‘somatic release’ class. Somatic release techniques are body-based practices & methods used to release emotions, or “energy”, such as stress, upset, anger, tension or trauma. In this practice, we journey between perpetual movement, rest, release and free movement. It's a little bit like HIIT, but deep, and much more fun. We use ‘containers’ of repetitive movements to build towards a release, both physically & energetically, and to fuel an exploration of freedom within that release. The containers build a ‘charge’ in the body, using the repetition of movements to activate the big muscle groups to metabolise stress/sympathetic energy and help with the release of tension. The practice is carefully curated to lift & lower the heart rate as a kind of ‘nervous system conditioning’. Through this process we increase ‘Heart Rate Variability’, the ‘flexibility’ of our NS and our capacity to move between sympathetic-parasympathetic. Through this form of nervous system regulation we increase our capacity to react & respond to stress. The practice ebbs & flows between ‘containers’, ‘releasing’, ‘grounding & resourcing’ & ‘rest. As we go on this journey, a lot can show up and become unstuck, but it’s not about forcing anything to happen, it's about being open to moments of releasing & opening, of letting go & softening, when we're ready and feel safe and supported to do so. This class is for anyone and everyone, including those looking to manage anxiety &/or depression, anyone recovering from trauma or health conditions such as CFS, long-covid, burnout - anything that has thrown your NS out of whack and left you feeling out of balance, with great tools & strategies for managing your mental health and emotional wellbeing. Guided and held with care by Marie who is professionally trained & well equipped to support you on this journey. Shake the Dust is a practice from the school of Authentic Flow, created by Satu Tuomela. Disclaimer: This class is a form of somatic release. While it is trauma sensitive and suitable for everyone, please make me aware of any sensitivities that may help me support you further, or get in touch if you're unsure if the class is appropriate for you or have at concerns. CLASSES ARE HELD ON THE LAST SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH.

“Marie quite honestly delivers the best yoga classes I have ever attended. Her embodied focus encourages you to have the confidence to explore what your body and mind needs, meaning that no class is ever the same, but the end result is feeling connected and relaxed.”
