Moving Evolution
Learn to move freely with your body’s evolutionary intelligence
8 expertly guided audio recordings of gentle, insightful and playful movement practices PLUS in-depth articles and reflections on each of the themes.
This series of awareness through movement classes incorporates the Feldenkrais method and meditative healing principles, to explore and move with the evolutionary wisdom contained in our bodies. We playfully re-contact the bodily intelligence derived from our evolutionary inheritance, and enliven our sense of what it is to be a human being on Planet Earth.
By interrupting habitual patterns through gentle, precise, and novel movement, we are able to activate our innate developmental trajectory, and access new horizons and possibilities for moving and living.
Attending to our experience with intention and interest, we gain not only flexible bodies but flexible minds, which can bring surprising changes and a delightful sense of freedom to our lives.
Hi, I’m Chani Grieve
Feldenkrais Practitioner, Meditation and Embodiment Facilitator, Mother, Artist
I support and train people to discover for themselves the wisdom of their bodies and the power of their minds.
Develop the skills and the confidence you need to access your own inner resources, and take the reins on your growth and healing.
I offer :
mindfulness and meditation classes, workshops and retreats
individual mentoring and supervision
organisational well-being and workplace consulting
movement classes and one-to-one body work
I draw on 17 years experience as a dedicated meditation practitioner and teacher, Feldenkrais Practitioner, Massage Therapist, and trauma-informed embodiment facilitator. These complementary modalities can empower you with invaluable awareness, sensitivity, strength and self-knowledge. I use tested and reliable inner and outer methods of practice and enquiry to inform your process, from both ancient and modern wellsprings of wisdom. Supported by an incredible body of knowledge and research, you will build trust in your direct experience and grow your capacity to unfold within your unique life situation.
Together, we can outline a roadmap or pathway of development to take you from wherever you are now in the direction of where, and who, you want to be. I will provide you with clear guidance, practices and resources, inspiration, and ongoing support for your journey.
I look forward to working with you.
