Note: All sessions are adaptable for all levels.

We are committed to providing a respectful, non-judgemental and inclusive environment for all participants.

Everyone’s boundaries, pace and personal comfort will be honoured.

Participation in all movement activities is at your own pace, with the option to observe or modify at any time.

Confidentiality is respected, personal sharing stays within the group.

Participants may bring a meaningful personal item to use as a prop or to keep with them throughout the class for comfort and inspiration.

This item must be approved by a member of the 1syllable team at least 72 hours before the class for safety and suitability.

Approved items will be used respectfully and returned to participants at the end of the session.
