MINDFUL STRENGTH WORKSHOP SERIES

Do you ever wonder how some people can look graceful & integrated when they move?

Do you always get the same old niggles, aches & injuries?

Do you wish you could better understand how your body functions so you can move with more ease and grace?

I’m putting on a series of workshops to give you a whole new foundation for your physical development.

Whether you’re a seasoned weightlifter or you’re just starting to get curious about building a stronger body, this approach will help you understand how to optimise the way that you train.

We’ll explore anatomy and healthy joint biomechanics to re-educate your body and bring more conscious awareness to your movement.

We’ll work through mobility drills that will develop control and stability through ranges of motion you may not have reached in years!

We’ll look at posture, alignment and positioning in 6 fundamental human movement patterns — ones you’ll definitely recognise if you train already.

If you’ve ever been given cues like “squeeze your tummy”, “push your hips back”, “pull your ribs in” or “arch your back”, perhaps you’re not really sure what they mean practically, or why they don’t seem to be working for you. These workshops will help you explore whether these cues are accurate for your body, and how the ones meant for you actually translate into positional adjustments. You’ll leave with a greater understanding of your unique body and some corrections you may want to work on.

Expect:

  • Experiential anatomy for body awareness

  • Functional movement & corrective exercise

  • Stability in alignment

  • Mobility

  • Principles of recovery

WHY ‘MINDFUL STRENGTH’?

I’ve designed this approach by bringing together the worlds of yoga, functional movement, corrective exercise and strength training. I noticed a natural connection between these disciplines that I don’t see on offer, so I wanted to marry them together to find a mindful approach to strengthening the body for optimal function. With the fine-tuned awareness of yoga, the intelligent biomechanics of natural movement, and the muscular development of strength training, I believe we can train for longevity and ease of movement.

Each workshop is £28, or you can buy all three as a course for £80. To book or ask any question about your specific needs and interests, contact Eleanor directly at eleanor@fluxandflowcoaching.com
