workshops & events
This is an opportunity to explore a particular theme in more depth. My offerings sometimes relate to the season we are moving through, or I might explore a particular quality in the body such as stability, fluidity or balance. I also enjoy exploring how we can learn to embody movement through our different body systems. This includes the Nervous System, the Musculoskeletal System and the Organ System.
I bring together my understanding of the body from the perspective of Yoga, Hanna Somatics, Experiential Anatomy and Chinese medicine. I also have a strong interest in developmental movement and how this influences us.
I offer half-day workshops in Manchester about once a month at Bodywise in the Northern Quarter and the Yoga Rooms in Chorlton.
Workshops
These weekend workshops are a great opportunity to explore themes in more depth, and a lovely way to spend your weekend.
Saturday 28th February 10.00-1.00pm Bodywise
Releasing the Shoulders and Upper Body
The shoulders, neck and upper body are common areas for tension to gather. This is often related to holding within the centre of the body, where the thoracic diaphragm is situated.
Come and explore how to undo these holding patterns with the help of Somatics and Yoga, to create a new freedom in your body. Experience a profound change in the posture of your upper body, through your neck, shoulders and spine.
Saturday 28th March 10.00-1.00pm Bodywise
Moving into Spring
a practice to nourish and uplift
We will be focussing on movements which safely mobilise and nourish the spine. When the spine is able to express its full potential for movement the whole body feels alive and energised.
In turn we create a sense of cohesion and integrity in movement that comes from a clear, fluid, responsive centre.
Saturday 11th April 10.00-1.00pm Bodywise
Exploring lateral movements and spirals
In our daily lives, so often our movement is limited and, as a result, our movement potential is reduced.
This workshop is a chance to explore how moving in the lateral plane, as well as exploring spirals, profoundly releases the spine and opens up new possibilities in movement.

ONE-TO-ONE
If you’d prefer a more individual experience, you can book a one-to-one session with me.
Christine’s rich teaching arises from her dedication to practice, her deep knowledge of, and continuing fascination with, the workings of the human body, and her innate wisdom and compassion. This, combined with the lightness of her touch, helps her students to develop clarity and insight into their own practice.
