Movement and Spirituality

Speaker: Floriane Place-Verghnes-Wood

Service Leader: Cherie Quinn

Tech Support: Tony Fitzgerald

“It’s the mind itself which shapes the body”, Joseph Pilates (1883-1967) famously said. This service will be an exploration of the interrelatedness of (self-)compassion, spirituality, breathing and movement. We’ll start with a short lecture by Dr Stephen Porges on ‘The Psychophysiology of Compassion’ which is bound to lead to a fruitful discussion. We will then move onto a breathing practice (and very gentle pre-Pilates movement if there’s time). It’s never too late to move and be kind to your body.
