Meet the Founders
Ya'ACov & Susannah Darling Khan
Ya'Acov and Susannah have been teaching movement as medicine since 1989 and founded Movement Medicine in 2007.

They have trained hundreds of teachers and inspired thousands of people worldwide to live their lives rooted in the creative power of the beat that's in you too.
The Path
Go Deeper with Movement Medicine
The Movement Medicine Path is a dancing path. A path where movement is your medicine, where you are both respected as the one you are and challenged to become all you can be. A path where community and individuality are mutually enhancing and you learn to alchemise the past, be present, and play your role in creating the future. Do you hear the drums calling you?
