Spring is stretching her limbs and the light is returning. Here on the edge of Dartmoor, the land is stirring and we feel the same quickening in our global Movement Medicine community. This month, Ya’Acov’s blog invites us to fully inhabit our bodies, deepen our relationships, and step into conscious service of life; a timely reflection.
Last week’s Q&A for our upcoming Professional Training echoed this spirit, as committed practitioners gathered around the shared fire of inquiry, courage, and devotion to making a difference.
We’re also celebrating new Movement Medicine Apprenticeships. The next begins in France this May with Anne Ena Bernard and Nicolas Bernard. Keef Wesolwski-Miles and Marold Emmelkamp are preparing a Men’s Apprenticeship, while Megumi Miyata will bring the first MM Apprenticeship to Japan and China in 2027, whilst Anna Sierpowska & Kaya Sertic and David Mooney continue offering their AP programmes in Eastern Europe.
We're happy to see the Movement Medicine tree growing and becoming more available. For more about the path of Movement Movement including Apprenticeships see below.
As the season turns, we hope you enjoy the blog and feel invited to take your own next steps on your path.
"The Movement Medicine Path isn't just a curriculum or a sequence of trainings. For me it's a living, breathing journey into what it means to be fully human, fully alive, and fully present in my body-heart-mind, in this world."

Anne-Ena Bernard and Nicolas Bernard
"Recently, we moved into a field of deep togetherness. Boundaries and connection became so tangible that a collective "Yes" filled the room."

Let's Dance!
With a touch more spring in our steps and a good dose of rising sap, we wish you all blessing for the season. May your roots go deep, your dances grow bold, and your heart stay close to what matters.
May this turning of the season give you the courage to shed what no longer serves, the roots to stand for what you love, and the grace and commitment to find your way to dance it into all areas of your life.
