Kieran Edmonds-Breakin' Limits

"Deep inside us all we know the body never lies. So let's walk like champion's, let's move like super heroes.. let's get those feelings embodied in us. When we train like this we strengthen a life skill that can now be used. So rather than falling into old patterns, we create a new alignment that holds us strong in challenging circumstances."

Who is it for

This is for people who want to make a real transformation to their lives. People who believe in being greater than what they are currently experiencing, who don't conform to growing old but growing happy :) This is about reaching your potential and using the most efficient and effective tools we have at this time! We are progressive and ever evolving and we recognise this body as a vehicle that allows us to make dreams a reality!

What do we do

We love to move our bodies. Using techniques from martial arts, dance and acrobatics. We'll be developing a healthy relationship with our body's by honoring its sacred power, showing it respect and showing ourselves how strong we truly are. Bringing an awareness to our breathe so we develop a deep conscious movement that is executed with control. We develop our artistic expression through movement. We will have fun discovering new planes of movement and interacting in partnerships which further develops our understanding of biomechanics and therefore learning to trust and be responsible for another.

What to expect

Firstly set in some form an intention for what we'll work be working on.

Warm up the physical body. Get moving around the space. Energy moving freely.

Go deeper into our movements by exploring whole body natural animalistic movements which condition the body to become strong and flexible.

Then we'll be ready for isolated movements that not only challenge our coordination but expand our awareness of what can be done with our body's which is a lot of fun!

To grow we must share so now we move onto partner work. Dance side by side. Interact with choreographed movements or improvised. We will also work with supporting each other in movement like handstands or other similar acro-balance skills.

We will then end with some kind of game that unites us all together in a circle and celebrates our achievements.
