^{Early Bird available until 31 January 2026}

Does this sound familiar?

If you love anatomy but sometimes feel it stays stuck in your head —
not in your breath, your feet, or your sense of support…

If you’ve studied muscles, fascia, and alignment, yet still struggle to feel how it all works together in real movement…

If you sense a gap between what you know and how your body actually responds under load…

You’re not alone.

Most anatomy education explains parts.
This weekend explores relationships.

What we’ll explore — from the inside out

• How the feet organise support in upright posture

• Gravity as a collaborator, not an enemy

• Yielding into ground and space

• Breath as lift, buoyancy, and architectural support

• Tensegrity and fascial continuity in real movement

• Joint spaciousness without forcing

• Internal organisation under load

This is not lecture-heavy learning.
It is sensation-led, practical, and immediately applicable.

The Weekend Flow

Arrival · Exploration · Integration

Friday — Arrival & Sensory Orientation

...

18:00 – 20:00 | Arrival Practice with Julie Martin

You arrive, settle, and begin to shift out of analysis and into sensation.

This opening session is designed to:

• Soften habitual effort and overdoing

• Awaken sensory intelligence and listening

• Establish a felt relationship with ground, breath, and space

Rather than “warming up,” this is about arriving in your body — creating the conditions for the weekend’s exploration to land deeply.

Saturday — Structural Exploration & Embodied Understanding

...

13:00 – 15:30 | Structural Organisation in Gravity

with Gary Carter (Natural Bodies)

This session explores how the body organises itself under load.

You’ll investigate:

• Tensegrity and gravity as collaborative forces

• The upright response of the feet

• How support distributes through the whole system

• Structural efficiency without rigidity

Concepts are introduced clearly, then immediately explored through movement and sensation — so understanding becomes usable, not theoretical.

...

15:30 – 15:45 | Break

...

15:45 – 18:00 | From Structure to Sensation

with Julie Martin

Here, anatomical ideas are translated into lived experience.

Through guided movement, touch, and sensory inquiry, you’ll:

• Explore yield, lift, and internal space

• Refine perception from the inside out

• Allow structure to emerge rather than be imposed

This session bridges knowing and feeling, supporting intuitive, intelligent movement.

Sunday — Integration & Embodied Synthesis

...

12:00 – 14:30 | Fascial Continuity & Buoyancy

with Gary Carter (Natural Bodies)

This session focuses on how the fascial web supports:

• Load distribution

• Joint spaciousness

• Internal lift and buoyancy

You’ll explore how organisation across tissues creates ease, resilience, and responsiveness — particularly under gravity.

...

14:30 – 14:45 | Break

...

14:45 – 17:00 | Integration: Yield, Breath & Play

with Julie Martin

The weekend closes with integration rather than conclusion.

This final session weaves together:

• Breath as architectural support

• Yielding to ground and space

• Playful movement inquiry

• Personal synthesis of the weekend’s themes

Rather than “ending,” this session helps the learning settle into your body — so it continues to inform your movement and teaching beyond the weekend.

Julie Martin

Julie has been teaching embodied yoga, movement, and somatic practices internationally for over 30 years.

Her work bridges:

• Yoga tradition

• Scientific inquiry

• Somatic and sensory awareness

Julie is known for her rich, precise cueing and her ability to translate complex ideas into direct felt experience. Rather than asking students to copy shapes, she supports practitioners in listening, sensing, and discovering how movement wants to organise itself from within.

Her teaching invites curiosity, play, and intelligence — making anatomy something you experience, not something you try to remember.

Gary brings over 30 years of experience in movement training, anatomical study, and bodywork.

His background spans:

• Athletics and competitive cycling

• Martial arts and bodybuilding

• Yoga, Pilates, and manual therapies

As the founder of Natural Bodies, Gary is internationally recognised for his clear, grounded approach to anatomy, fascia, and tensegrity. His teaching emphasises efficiency, ease, and structural intelligence, helping practitioners understand how the body actually organises itself under load.

Gary has a rare ability to make complex anatomical principles immediately usable in real movement.
