When booking your first class, please add the £1 new member joining fee - you only need to pay once between now and 31st August 2025.

This class will be led by the fabulous Effie McGuire Ward

What to expect:

Effie’s class offers space to enter class with a mindset of being
unimpressive yet curious, beginning with improvised
mobilisations, and progressing to structured sequences. Giving
time to check in with simplicity, and build up the technical
challenge – taking the spine through curves, tilts and spirals, and
playing with sensations which will likely include opposition,
rebound, shift and suspension. Aiming to cultivate an atmosphere
of support and possibility to energise one another as collaborators
in the room. Expect to talk, sweat, count, smile, and mostly,
encounter challenge and enjoyment whilst moving.
