Description
Based on Pip’s extensive experience as a movement practitioner, both as a soloist with the Royal Ballet and as a yoga teacher, Pip will lead a 90 minute movement session which goes from very simple yoga sequences into full body movements. The session is suitable for all levels of movers. It begins with breathing exercises, progresses into yoga flow sequences and finishes with simple movement sequences to music. The session is designed to first relax and then energise the body and mind.
Benefits
Connecting to the body is both an end in itself and a way of improving cognitive function, lateral thinking, and creativity. The sessions will give the participants both a rich embodied experience in the moment and some simple tools they can use in their everyday work environment to help them stay connected to their breath and body as a way of managing and maintaining energy levels.
Hosted by Pip Duke
About the Host
Having trained at the Royal Ballet School from the age of 13, Pip became a soloist with the Bayerische Staats Oper, Sadler’s Wells Royal Ballet, Nederland’s Dans Theater and with Hofesh Shechter. After retiring as a professional dancer she qualified and taught as a Montessori teacher, alongside freelance work in Europe and America as a contemporary ballet teacher. In 2002 she joined the faculty at the London Contemporary Dance School and completed her Master of Arts in Vocational Dance Education and Training, specialising in contemporary ballet and performance. In 2020 she attained a 'Relational Dynamics 1st - interaction with the self and others’ accreditation, and founded the initiative dancers- talking; a curated space, where dance and circus artists connect, and develop their skills in self-awareness, resilience and communication. Over the last five years she has facilitated workshops for performers, students and corporate professionals.
Her work enhances self awareness, confidence and productivity, and highlights the aliveness that face-to-face interaction inspires in a digital world.
