'Our quality of life is directly proportionate to our quality of movement, ease and presence we have in our body'
The word 'heal' means not simply to cure but also to make-whole. We will be including all aspects of your 'self' as we explore slow, gentle movement sequences to achieve the following:
• Release chronic pain and stress.
• Restore flexible, comfortable movement.
• Renew balance and vitality.
• Relearn healthier breathing and posture.
• Discover ways to take care of our neck, shoulders, back and hips.
• Keep our brain youthful and healthy.
Many previous 'Movement For Life' course participants experienced major breakthroughs and reported feeling more wholeness, presence and freedom to be themselves.
Check out the videos below and hear what they're saying about the course and specifically about the Cortical Field Re-education® (CFR) process which is a key component of the programme.

''THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT HOW IT GETS

THAT I THINK IS JUST HUGE''

During the course we'll explore a unique blend of
neuroscience and psychology - through slow gentle movement and heightened self awareness - to improve the overall health
of your body- brain connection
Our course is appropriate for all ages and conditions and is not at all strenuous, although it may initially be a little challenging as you relearn the fluid easy movement patterns you enjoyed as a child and lost along the way. We will be working with the following healing processes: Cortical Field Re-education®, The Feldenkrais Method® and Integrated Awareness®.
Adding a unique blend of neuroscience, human psychology, heightened self awareness and the loving support of our group to your movement, your brain will begin rewiring your habits, beliefs and actions that get in your way of enjoying a fuller and happier life. You will also leave the retreat with a set of practical tools to help you maintain your newly discovered ease and fluidity when returning to your daily life.

THE RETREAT VENUE
Cortijo Romero is Spain's premier holistic and personal development centre and is located in the stunning Sierra Nevada region of Andalucia. Nestled amidst the spectacular Alpujurra mountains, in enclosed gardens, almost all visitors comment upon its harmony, beauty and ambience.
There are several stunning garden areas filled with abundant sub-tropical flowers, fruit and trees and offering intriguing scents and colours. These areas are often used for course sessions, sunbathing, quiet times, reading, games and meditation. The gardens are also home to a beautiful stand-alone meditation room.
Dining regularly takes place on the outdoor patio, although an indoor dining room is also available. You'll find a cozy lounge with a log fire, for chillier winter evenings, and a second group room for reading, music and other activities. A large flat roof offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and is regularly used for yoga, tai-chi, socialising and star-gazing.
Cortijo Romero is not a hotel but more like a large private home entirely devoted to personal development holidays. It is truly unique with a very special beauty.
