Natural You

Natural You Natural You offer workshops and retreats for those wishing to connect deeply with their happy, free and confident natural selves. I left feeling very positive.

Natural You™ is a unique Movement Meditation and Dance practice drawing on Yoga, physical theatre and personal development. It requires no previous experience and you don’t need to be a dancer to enjoy it! It’s a fun, powerful and transformative approach exploring the connection between Body, Mind and Soul. This unique practice, developed over many years of research and teaching by movement exper

t Chiara D'Anna, helps you to find increasing peace of mind by guiding you to rediscover your natural connection to your body, your instincts and Nature. Chiara’s background in Physical Theatre, Core Training, Dance, Yoga and her long experience as a Movement Coach led to the creation of this new system to help us to rediscover and redefine our relationship with our bodies, appreciate their beauty and explore their expressivity. We’re not talking boot-camp or self-discipline: quite the opposite. It’s about discovering what innately and uniquely works for you and allowing your body and your senses to guide you. As a result you'll feel strong and energised, you'll breathe better, your skin will glow and you will develop a better alignment and discover that you can achieve much more than what you ever thought possible! The body knows... if we remember how to listen!


'NATURAL YOU: SELF-IMAGE' WORKSHOP
Do you ever compare yourself to others and feel bad? Are you ever uneasy with your body, the way you look, your size, your shape, your weight, the way you move? Do you ever feel like you have to change something about yourself to be okay? Perhaps you spend too much time being hard on yourself or feeling you don’t match up to expectations or that there’s something missing or wrong with you? We are bombarded daily with marketing messages designed to make us doubt ourselves and desire to be different: younger, better toned, fitter, slimmer, stronger and the list can go on forever. “I’m not as I want to be. I’ve to be self-disciplined and work hard to change.” Sound familiar? How would it be to be free of the judging and criticising and discover the real you, the natural you? It’s a feeling of peace and relief as the negative mind chatter stops and you enter into the present moment where you connect to your natural self. We all know if you feel good and connected with your body, the way you look and move, you feel more attractive. Through a combination of movement and meditation exercises this dynamic practice suitable for everyone will offer you:

-An experience of 'being in your body' so that you can give it the attention and care it needs to be strong, toned and healthy.
-Powerful ways to heal the past and let go of old negativity accepting yourself exactly as you are.
-A very effective tool you can use to change the way you feel about yourself and others.

'NATURAL YOU: BODY & NATURE' WORKSHOP
A Movement Meditation Workshop designed to reconnected with our instincts, our natural selves and the environment through a series of playful, fun and energising exercises in direct contact with Nature. Nature helps us to enter deeply into the present moment find a space where the 'chatterbox of self-judgement' stops and we feel a sense of perfection. It’s an intense feeling of peace and relief. You feel alive as you use your senses the way they were designed to be used: to perceive and appreciate the world that surrounds you. Through a combination of movement and meditation exercises this dynamic practice offers:

-A stimulation of your senses (smell, sight, hearing, touch, kinaesthetic sense...) through a deep connection with Nature and a playful approach to physical work.
-Powerful ways to heal the past and let go of your preconceptions about your strength, your physical abilities, movement skills and body shape.
-A very effective tool you can use to change the way you feel about yourself, others and the environment. About Chiara:
