Over the four years participants will develop an understanding of the principles that lie behind human movement.The three planes and six directions of space and the qualities they generate. The relationship between inner, imaginative space and outer, physical space.

Sport and active leisure is a huge part of modern day living, why? More people in Britain go to a gym on Sundays than go to church. What is driving this physical body culture?

We can come closer to answering these questions when we learn to move with and become familiar with the different qualities of the forces in the space around us. Re-educating the physical body and movement habits takes each participant through a subtle process of self-development.

The fundamental impulse of the course is derived from the work of the philosopher Rudolf Steiner, 1861 - 1925, who was responsible for many innovative ventures in medicine, agriculture, education and the arts.
