Welcome to
The Body Hotel
You time. Redefined.
About us
We use dance and movement to help people connect with their bodies through play, joy and creativity — building embodied skills for coping with stress and life's harder moments.
Whether it's wellbeing workshops, bespoke staff away days, professional development training seminars or community initiatives, we create spaces that are dynamic, safe and engaging with equality, diversity and inclusion at our core.
A really inclusive, diverse and connective community and workshop. 3 hours just flew by! Thank you so much for an amazing day!
It was great to work in a group and lose all inhibition. The session was led brilliantly for us to explore feelings and boost positivity and wellbeing.
A safe and non judgmental time to reconnect with my physical body and senses.
Staff Team Development
and Training
We help organisations build
more effective, cohesive and
supportive teams. We also
train leaders in using
embodiment and creative applications to management, nonverbal communication and decision making. The Body Hotel programmes are especially beneficial for fostering diverse, multi-cultural and cohesive workplaces.
LGBTQ+ and Diversity
Through Movement
Training
Serving and representing marginalised communities is
at the heart of all our offerings.
We deliver trainings that focus on equality, diversity and inclusion and creating inclusive workplaces by using movement-based activities, nonverbal communication and current research.
Movement for Wellbeing
Community Programmes
We design workshops that
improve self-awareness,
stress management, prevent
burnout and cultivate a positive
relationship to the body.
Participants will take away a
collection of creative movement
practices that can be incorporated
into their daily wellbeing routines.
Talks, Lectures and
Presentations
As part of our commitment to contributing research and best practices of movement for wellbeing, we also offer a wide variety of dynamic presentations about topics such as Performance Skills in Business, Employee Wellbeing and Difference & Diversity (amongst many others) using our unique approach.
