Movement – It’s a collective unlearning.
MOVEMENT – IT’S MORE THAN A PERFORMANCE, IT’S A COLLECTIVE UNLEARNING.
Movement is often seen as performance—something to perfect, produce, or push through. But here at Treacle Movement, we offer a different view.
Movement, as we see it, is a practice of noticing rather than performing. It’s an ongoing exploration of the subtle language of your body: a hum, a pull, a quiet ache, a deep breath. It is a tender act of self-advocacy, a quiet revolution of choosing to return to yourself again and again. Through this lens, movement becomes a reminder that you already belong—to your body, to your breath, to yourself.
And underneath it all, movement becomes an act of collective unlearning.
Unlearning the myths that your worth is tied to productivity.
Unlearning the idea that strength must be earned through pain.
Unlearning that your body is something to be controlled, tamed, or silenced.
WHAT DOES MOVEMENT MAKE POSSIBLE?
Movement creates space.
Space to choose, to pause, to feel, to change. It allows you to explore not just how you move, but how you experience yourself. Through embodied movement, we’re invited to become curious—noticing the stories we carry, the sensations we push aside, the moments we habitually avoid.
With curiosity comes awareness. And with awareness, comes possibility.
When you allow yourself to explore and experiment—without agenda or expectation—you begin to build a toolkit for witnessing your own mind-body connection. You begin to live in conversation with yourself.
And perhaps, slowly, you begin to unlearn the cultural conditioning that told you your body must always be doing. You begin to remember that stillness is also movement. That gentleness is also powerful.
Movement can also offer a space to play with boundaries—the ones we’ve been taught, the ones we’ve inherited, the ones we feel pressing against us. In movement, we meet our needs. We meet our expectations. We meet our emotions. And through that meeting, we begin to integrate.
WHAT MAKES MOVEMENT ACCESSIBLE?
In this space, there is no “right” or “wrong” way to move.
There is only you, showing up however you are, with whatever you’re feeling. You are valid. Your experience is real. Your right to be here, to move, to feel, to take up space—it is never questioned.
We are all human—bodies made of bones, blood, breath, and sensation. While our lived realities may differ, our shared essence of humanness connects us. Movement meets us there—in our shared capacity to feel, to express, to be.
To make movement accessible, we must first unlearn the narrow definitions of what a “moving body” looks like. We must challenge the internalised standards of ability, appearance, and pace. And instead, root into the truth that every body is a moving body, and every body has its own rhythm.
HOW DOES THIS TRANSLATE INTO TREACLE?
At Treacle Movement by Connie Moves, we are guided by the belief that movement is not just something we do. Movement is a way of being. It is an integration of our physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual selves—a returning to wholeness.
This is a space where movement is reimagined as a site of healing, of remembering, and of reclamation. A place where we unlearn the disconnect, the numbness, the push, and begin to move from a place of choice and consent.
This approach is grounded in somatics, trauma-informed care, and embodied awareness. It is rooted in curiosity. In care. In the sensitive, sometimes messy, but deeply human process of tuning in.
To move here is to gently undo what has been tightly held. To re-weave your relationship with your body—on your terms, in your time.
Whether you’re lying still or shaking it all out, curling inward or reaching wide—every movement is welcome here.
YOU ARE SO WELCOME HERE. HOWEVER YOU CHOOSE TO SHOW UP.
