for Facilitators and Therapists
Next Course to be held in the spring of 2025
CPD points (Continual Professional Development) are available for the course.
“A lot of wisdom that dropped in like stars and in the end it made a constellation – layers of understanding built up slowly but foundational – I feel inspired to move, I feel safer as a mindful movement provider/facilitator. Would I do it again? Recommend it? Yes, I would.”
‘Wonderful experiential teaching and learning’
‘Sue’s teaching embodies the practice, and models, through skilful language and a step-by-step approach, a process of truly becoming aware of the magic of the body.’

Training to become a teacher or therapist in any discipline is a long and demanding process. Years of study and practice are required in order to deliver confidently our chosen subject. And this is never ending, I know I continue to study and practice years after my movement teaching began in around 1976.
This short two-day course offers insight and practical training into the foundation of any movement philosophy, be that Qigong, Tai-Chi, Yoga or dance. The foundation of all movement is our structure. Understanding the subtleties of posture internally allows access to the many branches of your chosen discipline.
The Mindful Movement Training for Facilitators and Therapists is an experiential training that introduces participants to a practical and psychological understanding of our relationship to our physical being. Its aim is to enable facilitators and therapists to confidently and meaningfully use mindful movement with their groups and clients. The course reveals the psychology and philosophy contained in our movements, postures and body sensations, in particular our posture. Alongside various practical methods of accessing the energies and insights of the body’s wisdom a set of simple yet powerful Qigong exercises will be explained and taught. These gentle and potent movements offer a direct and intuitive access to the deep wisdom of the body through which reveal our habitual tendencies, both emotional and mental, that are experienced before any intellectual cognition.
‘Fantastic teacher. It has offered me far more than what I had set out to achieve, which was to help my clients to be in touch with their bodies. I have learned about the philosophies behind the movements and the philosophy for life.’
The material covered during the weekend will ensure that each participant leaves with the confidence and insight to use aspects of the movement offered as required and also to lead a short movement practice to support and deepen their mindfulness and therapeutic work. It is for those who might flounder at the thought of guiding others through body work as well those whose confidence is more present.
