We Move Lightly is a deeply transformative practice that softens the edges creating space to sit and observe with tea in a mindful way. Breathwork opens spaces in the body to feel and expand without limitations. Dance holds the key to unlock true potential in the body and mind.

This opportunity gives permission to come as you are and honour your body through embodied sharing.

Dance classes can be intimidating and complex. Over many years Taane has skilfully crafted an accessible entrance point into dance that is achievable for all levels and ages.Everyone welcome and no experience needed.
