Lorna Smith Movewell

Lorna Smith Movewell Hi, I'm Lorna. I’d like to help you use movement to feel connected, embodied and empowered.

I offer yoga classes, pelvic floor rehab classes (hypopressives) and Feldenkrais ATM lessons (Awareness Through Movement) in and around the Durham area.

Honestly didn’t script this 😁🙏

Marie was kind enough to try out a Functional Integration session, the hands-on side of Feldenkrais and this is what she had to say afterwards.

In her pyjamas. At bedtime. From under the covers.

It was a free taster but she received no further endorsements 😄

So often we wait until things are really bad before we seek support. But what if we didn’t have to? What if regular movement could help us feel optimised, able to thrive feeling like a brand new human? ✨

That’s what Feldenkrais can do.

International Feldenkrais Week starts next week. More to come, watch this space 👀

🎥 Thank you Marie 🙏

Happy Birthday to my wonderful niece Meaghan! As Phil Dunphy always says — you’re not just a year older, you’re a year more awesome. That’s just science.

What is intelligent movement? 🧠✨

In my upcoming 5 week course, we use awareness to first understand how we move. Borrowing small, slow movements from the Feldenkrais method we allow the nervous system to settle, letting ourselves fully ‘land’ in the body. Then we find what it’s like to move from a place of ease.
Not through force, or performance or musts or shoulds.

By slowing down we begin to know what we are doing.
How we are using ourselves.
Carefully…?
Bluntly…?
Gracefully…?
Angrily…?

Only then can we consciously move in ways that we want.

If you’ve ever felt yoga too ambitious or your body too “stiff”, this is a space for you. No pressure, just a small welcoming group

Next term, we’re going back to the beginning. 🌿

Whether you’re a total beginner or craving a slower pace, our new 5-week course starts next Thursday at 9:30 AM. We’re focusing on the pelvis—the body’s center of gravity and its creative core.

Not forced, just found.

The Details: 5 weeks of mindful movement (£40) or drop-in (£12).

✨💅💥
Hypopressives doesn’t just work one muscle—it strengthens the whole cylinder of the core.

Think of it like a 360-degree internal corset that keeps everything working tip-top:
✨ The Top: A relaxed, functional diaphragm
✨ The Bottom: A reflexive, dynamic pelvic floor
✨ The Front: A taut, flat stomach.
✨ The Back: Strong support in the lumbar spine.

Give the gift of a functional core this Mother’s Day

I am buzzing after my first Sunday Slow Down: Somatic Yoga class at PureGym Arnison Centre! ✨

What a lovely bunch of people, all game to slow it down and turn inward instead of striving to ‘achieve.’ It’s no easy task in the pace we live at, and being truly with yourself can be the ultimate challenge.

Thank you so much for joining me and getting my Sunday off to such a flying start. 🚀

If you missed today, I have 3 more opportunities for you to join me this week and explore the ‘language of the body’:

Mondays 10:30am & Tuesdays 7:15pm — Burnhope Community Centre

Thursdays 9:30am — Newton Hall Community Centre

Message me or visit my website to book your mat.
I am also offering discounted 1-to-1 Feldenkrais sessions available for anyone wanting to dive deeper into easeful movement! 🌿
