Workshops
Start Café Moving.
Reconnect with your body and others.
Expand your physical competence, mobility, joint integrity, and elastic potential.
Welcome back to Café Moving! Born from the success of the 2015 Coffee & Movement class and evolving into Coffee & Handstands, and later The Saturday Replay, our spirit of connecting people to their bodies and each other remains strong.
As always, each gathering holds a surprise, welcoming individuals of all physical abilities, with curiosity being the only requirement (though it's advisable to be injury-free). No prior workshop attendance is necessary.
In the morning practice, you can expect a blend of coordination sequences, interactive movement games, and open conversations. Our class content is carefully designed to offer physical education that enhances both tissue elasticity and cognitive flexibility. We challenge both the hardware (biological architecture) and software (neurological CPU) of your body, encouraging the expansion of soft tissue integrity, rhythm, coordination, problem-solving, dexterity, awareness, and much more.
Join us for an invigorating experience that nurtures both body and mind.

“For a comprehensive, easily digestible yet thought provoking and thoroughly engaging way of connecting with the body and your mind - in relation to movement, well-being & space - I’d highly recommend working with Robbie as your movement coach/practitioner. What I learned through questions that arose for me ‘how it moves, how I conceptualise myself & my movements in space relative to others, how I can continue a practice of staying connected to myself with curious exploration & within a boundary - yet still reach to achieve more - to know through a combination of sensory & scientific research and awareness - how best to grow and adapt well within myself, within a compassionate, supportive community & overtime’. Robbie is an expert at what he does with a fun-loving approach & attention to detail. A movement artist that will inspire you to become you’re most able and empowered self. Blessed to have attended classes and workshops with café move since 2016. 💪10/10"

“I have been to a number of Robbie's workshops, but this one really stuck with me. The time to pause between movements, ponder and take notes (pencil and notebook provided, nice touch!) meant that I retained more than usual, which has been a real bonus. As in so many things in life, it can be tempting to cram in more into the time available. Instead, making space to make sense of how the movement practices felt left me with a deep sense of wellbeing, as well as movement sequences that I have incorporated into my regular practice. Thank you, Robbie!"

“This workshop has changed how I see my body and its needs. Robbie has shown me that I have been conditioned to want to do more and feel more pain to feel like I'm exercising my body and that is just not true. The moves he showed us allows our body to tell its story of maybe that it is in flight or fight or functional freeze constantly and how to use those movements to reconnect to my body and put it into a genuine rest and digest and to keep the bodys elasticity intact. This has a further effect on my own practice of swimming and other sports. I know for sure that my body has been bending in due to years of being in a functional freeze state. Thanks to Robbies' calm and concise way of teaching and the fun games that we played to show it all in real time I can see it now. Thank you, Robbie!"

"Robbie's recent workshop 'Recoil' was something special. Firm and precise yet so gentle, focused and intentional , playful and play-filled. Robbie's thoughtful delivery of content was highly absorbable. He provided for and encouraged note-taking throughout the workshop. I found the space created, and the unravelling nature of the workshop to be very conducive to really settling into the body , flowing through all kinds of movements from grounding into the roots to getting air-time and everything in between. The sense of exploration was inviting and captivating. I so enjoyed being in a space of movers, my favourite moments being those where we moved in silence ; some music played , gusts of air to be heard, slides of the feet, the breath , footsteps on the wooden floor; a felt sense of togetherness."
