Want to dance more at home? 💃

Did you know there’s a whole library of guided movement sessions with Leela Fisk available to listen to for free on Mixcloud?

Pop one on, create a little space for yourself and be guided through 45min–1hr of movement and music.

It’s a really lovely resource if you want to bring more movement into your week, especially on those days when you know you’d feel better for moving but don’t quite know where to begin.

And if you’ve been curious about joining one of Leela’s groups, but committing to a group with someone you don’t know feels like a big step, it’s also a gentle way to get a flavour of her approach from your own home.

Check them out here: https://www.mixcloud.com/LeelaFisk/

P.S. If you’d like to dance with Leela live, there’s currently 1 place left for Friday Night Dance (starts 11 September) and 4 places left for Movement for Well-Being, the online group for women (starts 23 September), plus some drop-in sessions. Find all upcoming events on the Devon School of Soul Motion Calendar https://devonschoolsoulmotion.org/calendar/

Leela Fisk is on Mixcloud. Listen for free to their radio shows, DJ mix sets and Podcasts

We love seeing where our graduates take their practice after completing the Soul Motion training 🤩

Emma Piercey-Fisher now runs Connect Conscious Dance, a weekly drop-in class at The Yard in Buckfastleigh.

In her words:

“It’s a safe and nurturing space where we come together as a small group to check in, listen in and move just as we like.

My aim for every session is to create a safe container where everyone gets to choose themselves. To take time and space for their body, to move at their pace and discover the rhythm of their unique soul.”

Connect Conscious Dance
Mondays, 5.15–6.30pm
The Yard, Buckfastleigh

Perhaps you’ve looked at Friday Night Dance and wondered whether you’d know what to do, or have enough energy, or feel comfortable joining in.

There’s much more permission in the space than you might imagine.

Come tired, come energised, move wildly, move gently, lie down, witness, wear earplugs, take your time…

There are a lot of ways of being here.

We’ve been dancing together for over a decade, and part of what holds the space is making room for however people arrive, orientate, take part, or listen to what they need.

“I thoroughly enjoyed these dance nights. Leela holds the space so well, inviting and welcoming individuality whilst fostering playful and explorative dance and connection. Everyone welcome, everyone equal. It was therapeutic and utterly joyful for me.”

There are 3 spaces left for our Autumn series at Harberton Hall, starting 11 September 🍂

Here's a little piece of Devon School of Soul Motion history...

Leela Fisk brought Soul Motion from the USA to the UK all the way back in 2010.

She began regular community groups in Totnes that have continued and evolved over the years. That's 16 years of dancing together in this beautiful corner of Devon.

Some of the early offerings included Tao of Dance (meditation and movement into silence), Leading from Within and Dance Lab Fridays, which many of you now know as Friday Night Dance.

We came across this flyer from those early days and couldn't resist sharing it ✨

Were you there? We'd love to hear your memories.
