“The workshop is a superb and accessible introduction into the basics of movement. Russell is an amazing instructor, who takes you from the fundamentals of physiology and the body to how that can apply and how each of us moves every day.

For anyone who wants to improve their body movement, in order to age well, it is an excellent primer or opportunity to improve.”
