October + December 2017

The Body Lens
Dates: 
7th-8th October, 2017 (Workshop I)
9th-10th December, 2017 (Workshop II)
Attending both workshops is recommended, but you're welcome to just one.

Location: Wootton Fitzpaine Village Hall,  West Dorset, DT6 6ND, UK

This workshop runs over two weekends to offer a comprehensive introduction to Move into Life practice (it's also a chance to refresh your practice if you haven't done this work for some time).

If you attend both workshops I will give you individual suggestions for a regular personal practice during November and the possibility of one-to-one sessions immediately before or after the weekends at a reduced rate. So, by December you will know how to engage with this approach to daily movement practice and use it to nourish yourself and explore new options in your professional and daily life.

We will work with ‘movement as being’ rather than ‘movement as function’: you are your movement rather than you do your movement. By responding to the movement tasks I suggest for you, you move in your own way and I support you to realise and appreciate what you already have, and gradually to expand your choice of movement vocabulary and your embodied awareness of your moving self-in- context.

Maximum 12 people to ensure individual attention.

Areas of practice:
  • Yawning, stretching and breathing to enliven the being
  • Shaping of movement through the articulation of the joints
  • Movement through different levels in place and space.
  • Stillness through pausing, stopping, receiving without losing the flow of movement
  • Choices of rhythm, direction and tone within the flow of movement
  • Staying and going
  • Proportion in motion
  • Active/passive in movement
  • Composition in context = constellation
  • Moving with objects
  • Voice and movement

“There is a clarity and simplicity in Sandra Reeve's teaching that enables even the most desk- and mind-bound of participants to leave behind any habitual sense of physical awkwardness and explore their body in space like a three-year old.”


For most of us, our daily movement is something we never notice. Yet our bodies and our movement store memories and habits that affect and condition our whole lives. 

This workshop gives you a chance to pay attention to the way you move and to identify ways you might move differently.  

The central teaching of this workshop is that there is no movement without attitude and no attitude without movement:
  • The way we have learnt to move shapes our attitudes; changing the way we move changes our attitudes.
  • Our attitudes shape the way we move; changing our attitudes changes the way we move.​
