Practice

Soul Motion sessions involve guided movement explorations supported by music, verbal prompts, and spatial awareness. There is no choreography; participants are invited to follow sensation, curiosity, and relational impulses as they arise.

Common elements of a session may include:

• solo movement and self-attunement,
• partner and group improvisation,
• exploration of space, proximity, and boundaries,
• integration through stillness, reflection, or creative expression.

Teachers often draw attention to how movement choices reflect inner states, habits, and relational patterns.

Movement landscapes

Soul Motion uses a conceptual framework often described as movement landscapes, which support navigation between different modes of experience. These landscapes may include:

• inner awareness and personal movement inquiry,
• relational and social dance,
• collective and environmental connection.

These frameworks function as orienting maps rather than prescriptive structures, encouraging exploration and adaptability.

Teacher training

Soul Motion offers an international teacher training programme for movement facilitators. The training typically spans several years and includes:

• immersive residential modules,
• supervised teaching practice,
• mentoring and peer learning,
• personal process and creative inquiry.

Graduates are authorised to teach Soul Motion classes and workshops and participate in an ongoing professional community.
