Movement Ed

Movement Education is central to The Yoga Lab’s offering & ethos – providing opportunities for exploring, developing and understanding how we move. The WonderLab Project is an important collaboration within this.

The WonderLab Project

KNOW YOURSELF : KNOW OUR WORLD

 

Ineke de Graaf and Camilla Maling founded the The WonderLab Project in 2013. 

The WonderLab Project is an inter-disciplinary movement laboratory dedicated to:

  • wondering at the marvel that is you
  • the curious investigation of what we are and how we function
  • an enquiry into how moving is fundamental to living

All of this is crucial to understanding our environment, our community and ourselves.

The WonderLab Project rounds out The Yoga Lab’s mission to provide an interdisciplinary space with multiple opportunities for cross-pollination, education and investigation into an engaged and intelligent moving life.

Read More About Us…

Pioneers in the fields of somatic education, neuroscience, psychology and biology have been researching the way we function as integrated beings for some time. This is a conversation in flux and it’s fascinating.

 “The blueprint for a brighter future is literally inside you – encoded into each of your trillions of cells” – Bruce Lipton, Developmental Biologist

 

Scientific research proves the integration of all of our systems and the vital role movement plays in this. We need to catch up. We are not separate parts, we don’t function as such. The idea that we have a mind, a body and a soul is a construct of language not to be confused with how we really are.

The WonderLab Project is calling for a reconceptualisation of ourselves. Your thinking, moving, sensing, feeling are inextricably woven. Cooperating with our extraordinary design is critical to understanding ourselves and our world.

 “We are a magnificent example of the sophistication of nature, a fine expression of the order behind the seeming chaos.” – Camilla Maling

 

We develop movement programmes, bring research into the movement laboratory, interview specialists in their fields so we can continue this conversation and explore how we bring these insights into practice.

“We are putting neuroplasticity to the test!” – Ineke de Graaf
