Vision

Sharing the joy of movement in a safe and inclusive environment is at the very heart of our work.  Lyrebird Movement offers tailored movement experiences that improve health and wellbeing. You will feel uplifted and energised!

Movement, gently adapted for you - We believe that movement should be accessible for all. We specialised in tailoring movement classes to meet your ability and circumstance. 

We believe that everybody has the natural impulse for movement

After all, we were moving before we could speak.

 

 We offer bespoke movement sessions and programs for people and organisations. To ensure that we meet your needs, movement sessions are by appointment only; one-to-one or in small groups.

Connecting with nature, traditions and the present

 

Lyrebird Movement sessions are uniquely inspired by nature, Eastern and Western traditions.    

In one hour, you will enjoy meditative Qi Gong, get creative in guided improvisation and be in the flow of ballet.

 The lyrebird reminds us that we are unique;

we can create something new from the old.

It is time to create our own unique songs - songs of the body.

 Why movement?

Lyrebird Movement aims to enable all to reconnect with their inner mover and enjoy the benefits:   

  • reducing stress and tension in the body

  • boosting mood

  • improving balance, co-ordination and ease of movement

  • reducing the risk of heart and lung disease

  • encouraging interaction and a sense of closeness with others
