MOVE

Better

Move smarter, not harder with

"Not Yoga" classes

Hi, I'm Sarah

I'm your personal movement detective who can help uncover the real reason your body feels achy or your joints creak. 

From my studio in Napier, New Zealand or online, I listen to your story, check how you are moving, help you understand your habits and how your body is designed to move. 

Using a powerful combination of movement, mindfulness, play and the latest neuroscience, I work together with you so you can feel fabulous, confident and pain-free. No matter what your situation, how many candles on your cake or if you've already tried everything else. 

Through guided awareness (classes) or gentle touch (individual sessions), I provide a safe and comfortable space for you to discover easy, pain-free movement.

Each week you explore a different series of movements to improve your functional movement, flexibility, coordination and balance.

WORKSHOPS

Movement Works hosts regular workshops throughout the year.

A perfect opportunity for taking a deeper dive into relevant areas such as balance, walking, breathing, pelvic floor and  gardening ​

​

Corporate move well at work programmes also available.

BOOK

Sarah makes classes fun and interesting at the same time. I find it fascinating to learn how the smallest of movements can have such an impact on the way my body works. I have benefited from the classes and recommend them to everyone.
