About Heather
Heather Dennis is a visionary movement educator for women who want to claim the last thirty years of their lives for their own.
Unencumbered by limiting cultural belief systems that say “we are over the hill”, when in fact, we are on top of the mountain. In other words this is the new “prime of life.”
We can dream bigger.
About the rest of our lives. So we can cultivate confidence in our bodies. At any age.
Emboldened through the process of movement education where knowing better helps us move and feel better.
Where we purposely rewrite the outdated narrative that women should expect decline and disease as they age. By reclaiming our own agency of sensing, feeling and action.
We can change that culture.
Together.
So we can enjoin with others, enjoy our loves and embody our experiences to create meaning for the rest of our lives.
The Movement is the Method
The Heather Dennis Method is an inquiry. Into what it means to be a woman living in a body that’s been told how to behave, look and function by a Patriarchal culture.
Here we use exercise to stimulate curiosity about our thoughts and behaviours that either embolden or limit us.
Here we explore exercise that stimulates the sensory relationship between brain and body so that we may build strength, stamina and balance as we grow older.
The truth is how we feel has nothing to do with our age. It has more to do with mindset and expanding the capacity of our movement capabilities.
None of this is predicated on age, ability or athletic prowess. Movement is our birthright. And can be successfully reclaimed across our healthspan.
It’s not just an exercise class
The Heather Dennis Method was born out of frustration to explain my body of work.
It wasn’t just a yoga class. Or a Pilates Class. Or an exercise class.
It was something else, where movement processes became an adaptive medium to reclaim our natural inborn resilience.
These are not just classes, they are my art, my heart and my personal expression of how I’ve made sense out of life through words and movement.
My students say my greatest asset is the languaging or cueing I use. It is direct. It directs. It takes you places inside yourself that have laid previously unexplored. It helps you understand your precious body.
To that end I seek to serve. Your body, your mind and a buoyant future for all women.
I am..
A life-long learner. Writer. Amalgamator. Synthesiser. Questioner.
So you can:
• Develop resilience and trust in your body through movement processes that stimulate self-recognition AND mind-body integration.
• Discover exercise that HEALS rather than hurts. Processes that add rather than subtract quality of life.
• Trust unique learning experiences that produce noticeable shifts in awareness to expand your movement capacity, and noticeable relief from pain and suffering.
And live your “Loves”.
You are in good hands
