Virginia Taylor PhD develops and leads programmes from her base in the Lake District in Northern England.

 

More than half a century's experience of loving to move - dancing first, Tai Chi, swimming, fellwalking, and more recently Feldenkrais - offers a rich source of materials to share with others.

(RE)Mind Your Body © provides movement and arts activities for adults and seniors. We aim to help people maintain or re-find ease and pleasure in movement - suppleness, balance, coordination, confidence. Moving has great benefits for well-being – body, mind, mood, and memory. Practical exercises and anatomical knowledge maintain or recover ease of movement for the whole body in safety. For any age or level of fitness – you can do a movement smaller, or even in your imagination. It still has an effect on your well-being – body, mind, and memory.

 Feldenkrais Awareness through Movement classes are held regularly near Penrith, Cumbria, and elsewhere on request. Activities also include Dance Companies and classes for dance-lovers, whether experienced or not, and programmes for older people and their carers.

Virginia's great teacher, Merce Cunningham, died 26.7.09 at the age of 90, still making new works and offering a life-affirming challenge to us all! Find out who he was at this link. You will not have to dance like these professional dancers to take courage from his creativity and to benefit from moving yourself.
