What is a movement practice?

I understand that "movement practice" might still sound too vague.
I made a video for you to introduce it in simple terms and explain how it could benefit you.

Words from the people I taught or have worked with

I had the great privilege of meeting Valeryia as participants during a movement course in February, and her enthusiasm and unique approach to somatic teaching have inspired me ever since. Her ability to combine depth, creativity, and openness in her practice is nothing short of transformative.

In September, Valeryia led a somatic movement class for art students from the Willem de Kooning Academy during their 6-week residency at Showroom MAMA in Rotterdam. Though it was her first time teaching exclusively to art students, she crafted a truly exceptional course that reoriented their understanding of the body as an instrument or apparatus for (collectively) creating art.

Valeryia has a natural gift for getting people out of their comfort zones in a way that feels trusted, challenging and empowering. The students were not only engaged but deeply inspired, with at least four of them reporting back to me that her teachings directly influenced the work they showcased in their final exhibition.

Her ability to connect with her audience, no matter their background, and to create a safe yet dynamic environment for exploration, is remarkable. Valeryia’s passion for her craft shines through in every session, leaving a lasting impact on those she teaches.

If you are looking for someone who can unlock new creative pathways through the body and movement, Valeryia is the person to turn to. Her classes are more than just sessions; they are transformative experiences that stay with you long after they’re over.

Attending Valeryia's movement classes has been a game-changer for me. Her patient and encouraging approach has made it possible for me to explore new ways of moving and made me more flexible. Her ability to break down complex movements into simple steps makes things easier to understand.

She has a unique way of motivating you to push your limits without making you feel pressured or overwhelmed. Her positive energy and belief in your abilities create an environment where you can truly express yourself.

I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to learn from Valeryia. Her classes have not only improved my physical performance but also my overall well-being. I highly recommend her classes to anyone looking to enhance their movement practice and unlock their full potential.
