imove

i-move. I stands for INNER. MOVE stands for MOVEMENT. It is the inner movement that stirs our hearts and awakens joy within us. We provide the space and the training/facilitation to encourage you to move and find your own path of inner transformation. The i-move sessions we have available at present are taiji, chi kung, transformational dance and personal development through moving arts.

All our sessions are held at our home at the i-move room and are facilitated by either my husband Ofer Michaelis or myself Ljudan Michaelis.


TAIJI

"Taiji is an art - where the soft overcomes the hard, the calm subdues the aggressive and the subtle transcends the gross. It is a method of bringing ourselves into harmony with ourselves, those people with whom we interact, and all the energies of our larger environment. Taiji Form develops internal strength. Pushing-hands develops sensitivity. Being externally relaxed while internally strong allows the possibility of resolving pressure without conflict. Through building inner harmony and internal strength, together with physical relaxation and the philosophy of yielding, we gradually arrive at that place where the defence of the self in daily life no longer serves any purpose". Extract Relax, Deep Mind by P. Kelly

Chi Kung is a system with specific series of exercises that are very healing and strengthening for the internal organs and for building up of chi. Focus is on breath and posture. It is suitable for all ages including older people.

 


TRANSFORMATIONAL DANCE

Transformational dance is an alternative dance therapy based on free form movement using varying tools such as breath, voice, laughter, visualisation, chakras, ecstatic dancing, shamanic journeying, to align the body, mind and spirit to transform and grow. imove has kundalini dance, ecstatic dance journeys, dance movement healing and individual dance therapy sessions. They all follow a similiar thread but you may find that one style suits you more than another. These sessions are done is a safe and sacred space by a professional facilitator (that's me Ljudan Michaelis).


PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Personal development in this model uses the moving arts to facilitate the embodiment of the changes that you may receive on an emotional and mental level. The basis of this work stems from the foundations of my training with Lee Oldershaw in the Findhorn Format and the Living From Greatness format (known now as the Magicians Way) with William Whitecloud. I have transformed many of the processes from these works into creative movement & art based exercises. It's an alchemy of art, music, dance, ritual, theatre & play. A true holistic model with an extraordinary transformative journey into your shadow and out the other side to your greatness.
