Foundations of Movement

A Whole-Body Approach to Strength, Mobility & Nervous System Support

A healthy, supported body is not created in isolation — it’s the result of how the whole system moves, breathes and functions together.

In this 5-week course, we explore Hatha yoga postures and functional movement patterns to build strength, mobility and stability from the ground up and correct structural imbalances.

This means rebalancing and activating the feet, engaging the deep core, and creating clear, connected pathways into the torso — from the hips upward and from the shoulders inward.

This course supports both physical benefits — strength, mobility, posture and pain reduction — and mental and nervous system wellbeing, helping you feel more grounded, resilient and at ease.

Suitable for all levels.

 

Blending evidence-based principles with embodied practice, this course includes:

Mobility for hips & spine — easing tension, improving range of motion, and supporting smoother, more efficient movement

Core activation - switching on your ‘cylinder of support’ and learning to connect torso to hips and shoulders

Unilateral strength & balance work — addressing imbalances between sides through asymmetrical postures and movements to improve coordination, stability, and functional strength

Breath-centred practice — integrating the diaphragm, pelvic floor and deep core to enhance stability and motor control

Myofascial release techniques — using therapy balls and simple tools to reduce tightness, improve circulation, and restore ease of movement

Restorative Yoga — supported with bolsters and blankets to promote deep release, integration, and nervous system balance

Who this course is for

Anyone wanting to improve back health, hip function, and move with greater ease and freedom

Those looking to build structural strength and mobility for more resiliance and confidence in daily life.

People seeking an integrative yoga approach to wellbeing in a supportive, mindful space beyond the gym environment

Those who value a gentle, progressive pace with time to feel, adapt, and move with awareness for lasting benefits

  • "I have increased strength, mobility and balance and feel more confident with movement."

    “I have had the pleasure of having private lessons with Jen for a while now. I am new to Yoga and it has been truly beneficial and therapeutic. At each session Jen starts by checking in with me and adjusts the session to tailor not only to my individual needs but also to address what is happening in my world and affecting me. I have increased strength, mobility and balance and feel more confident with movement. I always feel energised and peaceful after a session.I would highly recommend Jen’s private session and feel blessed that our paths crossed.”

  • "She's helped me regain strength, get my body moving again, and feel confident in my physical abilities."

    “Jen's private yoga therapy sessions have been a game-changer for me. I showed up with a body that was all wound up from years of desk work and too much stress. With her personalised approach, she's helped me regain strength, get my body moving again, and feel confident in my physical abilities again. I feel much less stressed and more relaxed. Jen's not just a skilled and intuitive teacher, she's got a great sense of humor that's infectious. I always look forward to our weekly sessions. I can't recommend her enough!”

  • "After a few sessions, I began to experience significant relief."

    “Before I started yoga therapy with Jen, my sciatic nerve pain was excruciating. It affected my daily life, making it hard to move or even sit comfortably. I was miserable. After a few sessions, I began to experience significant relief. Jen created a program which I did at home between sessions that gave me immediate relief. With her guidance, I've not only found relief from the pain but also gained a better understanding of how to manage and prevent it. I can't thank Jen enough for helping me get back on my feet!

  • "Jen has a generous and intuitive approach"

    Jen has such a generous and intuitive approach when working with me one to one. I adore her teaching, her gentle wisdom and and her fully grounded, warm and earthy energy.

    Jen meets me where I am in my yoga practice with no judgement and so much kindness. I feel so seen and validated by her respectful approach to my needs, and together, we find gentle ways to explore new ways to practice.The flexibility of either in person or online sessions with Jen is so important to me as I travel for work- and I can not recommend working with Jen for private classes more wholeheartedly. Jen brings the experience of her many years teaching, and blends them with her authentic and joy filled personality.
