WELCOME!
My aim through this platform is to contribute to one’s capacity to move with precision in as many ways as required and desired particular to the movement arts. Both yoga and dance require a strong technical understanding, a dedication to training and the openness to evolve from mere technical proficiency to artistry. My hope is to offer a piece of the body-mind movement puzzle that may lead to greater clarity, confidence and self-expression.

Frequency of training varies depending on several factors that could include how many hours a day one is training in other modalities, how quickly one recovers from a session, and what one’s goals are. For example, one who is seeking to maintain mobility may train less frequently than someone preparing for a competition. It is assumed that all are receiving adequate rest, nutrition, and support from applicable healthcare professionals. Bronwen views her dedication to the movement arts as a lifetime pursuit and, as such, a longterm process. Training should, therefore, be consistent and enjoyable. Always check in each and every time that you train to ensure that you are feeling well enough to continue and make note that rest days are an important aspect of training.

Bronwen has recorded most of her videos within a living room of a home environment. Most classes concentrate movement around the space the size of a mat or two. There are times when the use of supports such as wall space and the back of a chair or countertop may be used. The exception is acro floorwork, which may require more space. Please make sure that whatever space one uses is free of clutter or anything else that may pose a risk to safety.

Dancers, pole and other aerial enthusiasts, yogis, or anyone looking to build a strong, flexy, and fluid movement ability. Regardless of discipline, a strong focus on technique, conditioning, and the cultivation of awareness will be prominent in all training. In addition to those interested in breaking down movements and shapes particular to their discipline, the “how-to” of each move, some may also find value in how shapes or skills can be transformed into a moving art form.

Bronwen, now in her mid 40’s, has been training in various forms of movement since she was a child. She teaches very much in the same way that she approaches her training. Bronwen will give clear and concise cues on the alignment, technique, and conditioning required for the skill, as well as how it may tie in with progressions to higher level moves both within the same modality (i.e. how Downward Dog could progress to Handstands) as well as with others (i.e. how that same posture is performed in Acro Dance).
Bronwen believes that she receives more benefit from refining and broadening her movement ability rather than simply performing the movement itself. She believes that feats of strength and flexibility are noteworthy achievements, but not the end goal. Bronwen hopes that an enhanced understanding of body awareness and movement vocabulary will lead to moving with greater freedom, self-expression and artistry throughout one’s healthspan.
