JOHN STIRK YOGA & CREATIVE MOVEMENT 2012
HOW WE MOVE IS HOW WE ARE John Stirk’s work has evolved over a period of 35 years. He taught remedial classes at the Royal Academy of Dance in London, graduated as an osteopath in London in 1983 at the College of Osteopaths, where he subsequently lectured in Bio-Mechanics and Practical Osteopathy and was made a fellow of the college in 1995. He has been particularly influenced by the teachings of R.D. Laing of whom he was a student and ran Body/Mind workshops with for many years and Vanda Scaravelli, with whom he had personal tuition for several years. Other influences include the work of Moshe Feldenkrais, J. Krishnamurti, Ida Rolf, John Wernham, William Sutherland and Emilie Conrad. His predominant inspiration arises from an ongoing investigation into the relationship between his own movement patterns and way of being. John is the author of two books ”Soft Exercise” and “Structural Fitness” and has had numerous articles published. He is currently based in London and East Sussex and gives workshops, residentials and classes in the UK and internationally. ABOUT THE WORK: John’s grounding in yoga, psychology and bio-mechanics has stimulated a continually evolving practice and teaching approach. The work introduces an exploration into creative movement based on sound classical osteopathic principles and Western and Eastern approaches to health and personal growth. Students are invited to discover their skeletal, spatial and fluid physiology in a way that has potentially profound effects on the body/mind. From a variety positions the movements are gentle, rhythmic and enhance an overall awareness of where we move from, and the connectivity of all movement, however localised or small. The approach reveals the potential of integration without effort and confirms that “how we move is how we are”. Ways of doing and being are blended as we track sensation through the body/mind, giving space for insight to emerge.
