Ben Medder Coaching

London based movement classes and 1-to-1s. A big picture approach to movement training. Coaching for movement, purpose and health www.benmedder.com My approach is designed to get people moving well and developing new skills using preparation, progression and play. It is not always as simple as to just start moving - you need a process and an approach, to get you from point A to B. Starting with reclaiming the basics of human movement and ultimately aspiring to movement complexity, play and freedom in a holistic, engaging and fun way. Using core principles to underpin the practical application, you will develop your love for movement and help you see why "exercise" is a modern construct or invention. A child moves because they can, and so should we, recovering the joy to move and play is essential. Treating anything as play can create an optimal learning experience, but we also need a process to acquire new skills - a balance between the classical and romantic approach, as Frank Forencich puts it. Whatever your goals may be - to ultimately look good and feel good - movement and the journey will be its own reward. My group classes and private lessons cover a wide range of movement disciplines and influences, distilled and infused with my own personal beliefs and approaches to movement, giving my students what they need to improve their movement quality and achieve their goals as a result. I am inspired by and passionate about the systems and teachings of several of my peers and mentors, and these elements are encapsulated in what I offer. We train in large and small classes or private 1-to-1s / shared sessions, using various tools and methods. Sometimes we're outside. Whatever works. You might do some Parkour and natural movement (I'm a Movnat Certified Trainer).
