Body - People - Place

You have a body. A body that craves to move. A body that craves to really connect to a place. A body that wants to resonate and connect with other people (moving) too.

If that sounds like you, maybe you’ve stumbled upon the right place.

Ben Medder Coaching | Move with the Seasons

I help inquisitive explorers who want to move but are also curious enough to explore the deeper connection and relationships to body, people and place and their ever-changing inner and outer landscapes. I guide people to discover and craft their own toolbag of movement training, practices and principles that work for their body and context.

I want to help you become a skilled creator of your own movement practice that helps you become better at becoming you!

MOVEMENT PRACTICE | MOVEMENT TRAINING

I teach movement classes in London regularly, hold workshops in London, the UK & internationally and coach and share to people all over the world via Online Coaching and our MWTS community. I am the founder of Move With The Seasons and Move With The Trees and co-founder of STate Of Play (Stop) Training

I’m mainly known for natural movement training and Tree Climbing in London locations, but using movement practice as a vehicle for curiosity and understanding has been my life practice for the last 13 years. I am many things, a father, a husband, a son, a former IT desk jockey who escaped “security” to pursue this mad idea that I can share and facilitate movement practices for a living. My movement lineage is rich and my expertise is ill-defined. I feel blessed and grateful to those who have invested their time and wisdom into me. I am an Evolve Move Play coach and Fighting Monkey Stray Dog/Instructor, but I have learnt from a lot different people. My passion is to explore relationships between body, people and place, my inner and outer landscapes, on a journey to better understand connection, creativity and change. Movement practice opened the door for me to better understand myself and my ever-changing body in an ever-changing environment and is the keystone to me being better at being me. We create knowledge with the questions we ask and take responsibility to actively explore, test and study. It (knowledge) will not just “come to us” by passively waiting. Within my movement practice is the coded guide to living with integrity and in alignment with my true self. How could I not attempt to spark that gift for someone else?

So, I help inquisitive people to understand, sustain and enjoy how THEIR body moves while empowering them to overcome challenges they may face. And if it helps you be better at being you and contributes to you enjoying life a little more - I am happy. I take great joy in facilitating meaningful experiences through outdoor movement practice (although I/we practice inside a lot too, more in winter), that may be play-driven, but also enjoy guiding people to awareness of the nuance and technical detail they may also need - from the from noticing the quietest of things to amplifying what resonates to yourself and others - from the mundane to the magnificent - it takes practice and a lot of love and interest in wanting to help yourself.

You can join our drop-in classes, courses/class series & workshops or go deeper with your development and connect with our regular London movement group via the movement practice membership and get access to unlimited classes/workshops, exclusive members-only classes and the Move With The Seasons Online Community (and also ongoing discussion and resources for self practice). Or you can of course get my full attention with personal 1-to-1 movement coaching or online coaching and support.
