Movement is Medicine hosted at The Yurt

Movement is Medicine hosted at The Yurt!

Join us and reconnect to your rhythm to some absolute bangers! An hour dedicated to getting out of your head and into your body at the amazing new Yurt at Meadowcroft Garden Centre, just outside of South Woodham Ferrers, Essex, UK.

Movement is Medicine® bridges the gap between science, music, movement and rhythm.

Through music, movement, and education, MIM helps you uncover your innate rhythm, connects you to the present moment, and releases stress. We immerse you in a variety of electronic music genres, emphasising percussion, BPM (beats per minute) and innovative song structures. From House and Garage, to Afrobeats and Drum & Bass, our focus is on the drum, you’ll experience a diverse musical journey.

Using science-backed education, we apply music and rhythm to the body, providing effective stress relief and practical tools for life, applicable anytime, anywhere.

How it works:

The human body is naturally rhythmic, from our heartbeat and breathing to hormone cycles. Stress can disrupt this natural rhythm, so by rediscovering it through music and movement we release stress and restore balance.

Our neuroscience backed method uses a variety of tempos focusing on the percussion throughout, starting slow and gradually speeding up, our instructors will guide you through the method, using specific exercises at various points on the body proven to regulate the nervous system, release tension and emotion leaving you feeling calm and present.

Starting at the feet and moving up the body in a specific sequence curated to the music, you’ll start to feel the impact that music has in relation to how your body naturally wants to move when we focus on nothing but the music.

This musical journey helps you to connect to your body's natural rhythm, offering an experience that releases stress, regulates the nervous system and triggers the release of feel-good neurotransmitters and hormones, whilst giving you a workout suitable for all fitness levels!
