Why I created Feel-Good Movement

I think we’ve complicated movement more than it needs to be.

Somewhere along the way, it stopped being about how it feels and became about what it does. Getting stronger, more flexible, more disciplined, more consistent. Even when we say we’re doing it for ourselves, there’s often still something we’re trying to achieve.

But if you strip all of that away, what’s left is actually very simple.

Movement feels good.

And to me that's reason enough.

Most of us know that feeling of moving your body and something shifting. Your mood normally improves straight away. Not necessarily in a dramatic way. But you just feel… better.

And I think that’s worth making space for.

When I started putting these sessions together in Stoke Newington, I wasn’t thinking about creating a “class” in the traditional sense. I wasn’t interested in perfect sequences or building towards anything in particular.

I kept thinking about what actually makes people enjoy moving.

For me, music is a big part of that.

I’ve always enjoyed classes differently when there’s good music on. Good music helps me get out of my head. I'd find myself moving less in a performative way, and just more natural and unselfconscious.

So every session is built around a playlist I’ve put together myself. I spend time choosing the music so it carries the class in a way that feels good. Some parts are slower, some pick up a bit, some just feel good to move to without needing to think about it too much.

The sequences are simple, easy to follow, and there's absolutely nothing you need to “get right.” You can take it slow, make it stronger, skip things, pause. There’s no version of it you’re supposed to be doing.

You’re just… moving.

I think one of the things people don’t realise is how rare it is to take time like this. Time that is not about being productive or improving yourself. But time that feels good to be in. Forty-five minutes where you’re not trying to fix anything about yourself.

You’re just in your body, listening to music, moving in a way that feels good.

And to be honest that alone can actually shift a lot.

I’ll be starting these sessions from Sunday 12th April, running weekly in Stoke Newington, East London, at The Old Fire Station.

They’re women-only, and open to all levels.

If you’ve been meaning to move more, or “get back into something,” this is a different way of doing that.

No big commitment and no pressure to keep up.

Just show up, move a bit, listen to good music, and see how you feel after.

That’s enough.
