ART OF SOARING – workshops in The Feldenkrais Method®

ART OF SOARING – workshops in The Feldenkrais Method® to help improve everything that you do with your body. At the Yoga Collective Studios on the 6th floor.

The Feldenkrais Method® is a form of sensory training or even curiosity training, based around movement and using the techniques we all used to learn about the world in those days long gone before we knew what ‘learning’ is. The group sessions gently challenge us to think differently – sequences of movement that reveal to us where our habits might be restricting a full and better use of ourselves.

Art of Soaring is a series of three movement workshops running in the Yoga Collective Studio on the 6th Floor. They are connected but you don’t have to come to all three. You lie on the floor, I direct you with simple functional movement ideas. The aim is that we become more fully ourselves, able to use the resources more fully that evolution has given us.

Special deal for Edinburgh Palette members: £25 per workshop + a free half-hour one-to-one Functional Integration session. Come try something completely different!

Saturdays 28 Jan, 11 Feb, 25 Feb. 11am – 2pm

For more information: www.thebodythinkprocess.com/workshops or freedomtomove@outlook.com or come knock on my door at 6.27. I’m always happy to talk about what I do. It will be a pleasure to meet you. Alan

Southside Community Centre, Nicolson Street Edinburgh EH8 9ER

September 22nd – December 8th (no class on October 20th)

The Youth Theatre is going into its 29th year and is all about having fun, building confidence, making new friends and learning about performance. Participants work together over the course of the year to create their own show which is generally performed to the public in May each year. Along the way, they learn about improvisation, movement, voice technique and much more. 

“A fantastic adventure to be part of for 11 years of my life. Along the way I have made life long friends, gained skills and confidence and formed great memories that will stay with me forever.” – Junior and Senior Youth Theatre Participant / 2014

Southbridge Resource Centre, Infirmary Street EH1 1LT

September 24th – December 10th (no classes on October 15th and 22nd)

The Saturday classes have been running since 2007 for 3 – 12 year olds. The classes focus on different themes and skills each term and build towards a short performance which is shared with parents and friends on the last day of the term The emphasis is on having fun, building confidence and learning new skills

“Lovely to see children being encouraged to think their own thoughts and build their self confidence as well as enjoy being a part of the group.” – Parent Feedback / 2018

The next Youth Theatre term costs £60.50 (££5.50 x 11 week term). There is also a £15 annual membership fee. 

The Saturday Drama Class fee is £55.00 (£5.50 x 10 week term)

A 10% sibling discount applies across all of the Live Drama groups. We also have an Assisted Places scheme for those who are prevented from taking part because of the cost. This scheme generally reduces participation fees by around 40% – so the Youth Theatre term would be £36.30, and the Saturday Class term would come to £33.00.
