We design and deliver introductory workshops, INSET days, twilight sessions and tailored courses based on the physiology of learning.


Our training gives participants the chance to focus on themselves and on those they teach, support or care for. Our events explore the innate intelligence of the body and encourage playful self awareness. They provide the opportunity to:


  Examine stress responses and how they affect functioning.
  Identify unique physical patterns.
  Review early development and its significance for learning.
  Learn specific movements that support optimal functioning.


Fight, flight, fear or flock: understanding instinctive reactions


When we are in our comfort zone we experience a state of ease. We have the physical skills we need for success.


Daily life, however, frequently pushes us beyond comfort and familiarity. Our ability to respond effectively is closely linked to our ability to notice what happens to us when we are under stress. Survival instincts may, for example, take over from clear thinking.


Unique physical patterns: how they affect your approach to life


Our training helps participants to recognise their potential gifts and challenges and understand their response to routine activities such as reading, writing, starting a project, making a phone call or speaking in front of a group.


It’s all happening before we even stand up


Movement is particularly important in the first year of life. When a baby is given the opportunity he or she gradually builds up mobility and strength through early activities such as looking, turning and reaching.  


The incremental stages that a baby moves through are all important. If any particular stage is missed out then learning, behaviour and emotional issues may emerge later. 


Add some new tools to your bag


There are simple physical activities that can support our neural and muscular functioning and reinforce our physical and mental effectiveness within daily life. Our training incorporates a variety of these useful tools.

Part of the joy of learning is the ability to connect with our own creativity. We therefore incorporate stories, music and art as tools for personal and professional life.

‘silly’ things but we were actually learning interesting information.”
