      <image:title>Methods &amp; Free Classes - Simple Solutions</image:title>
      <image:caption>Simple well understood exercise sequences are often the key to addressing a core issue. It is very different seeking relief from ongoing pain or discomfort than addressing and finding the cause. APT has many techniques and experience helping clients find the cause and then address the issue - once you understand why something isn’t improving or indeed becoming worse, you are empowered to start taking responsibility and changing it yourself. There is never one magic exercise or pill to fix a problem. We believe in the ‘process to progress’, well understood sequences executed consistently, are often amazing simple solutions.

      <image:title>Mobility Matters - “A mindset that accepts where you are right NOW, isn’t living in your former self or body of the past and is open to patiently learn and implement daily gradual and incremental movement into the body, to regain mobility. Creating a person who moves more freely &amp; effortlessly, with less or no pain and is a happier, more independent human-BE-ing.”</image:title>

      <image:title>About - Movement is part of life - not an external duty to exercise. Breathing is life, but many people have lost the vital connection with their own breathe. APT’s passion is for you to fully connect with yourself - being present, patient and aware, is often unconsciously sucked out of us in modern life. By learning simple, logical processes, you can empower &amp; reconnect your mind, body and spirit.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Establish the basic fundamentals of holistic mindful movement without continual new trend distractions. Through this you will find that the deepening of understanding becomes far more fulfilling and satisfying, than always seeking something new via external sources. Mindful movement and breathwork are your NOW and your future. After my time in Portugal in May 2025, studying Biodynamic Breathing &amp; Breathwork - a new depth of awareness &amp; science researched education - I am excited to bring the BREATH Sessions to APT. The first 3 session series began in Nov 2025. Join me in 2026 for BREATH Sessions - it will change your life! For me bodyART has become a valued and necessary part of my personal well being. Feeling the fluidity and mobility in my movements has enabled me to view the ageing process in my body with confidence and optimism that I will be able to continue doing whatever I wish to do without constraints. Its fun, it's always changing which keeps it interesting. BODYART - Whats not to love!  Jacqui W More Testimonials 2025 Testimonials 2024</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - Build your body with your mind from your foot foundation &amp; breathe focus.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is the key to stability for strength as well as stability for mobility &amp; flexibility. Barefoot movement practice is essential for the entire body to connect well, to find centre and move in the 3 dimensional ways it was designed to. We were made to move - quality movement is medicine. Foot foundations FREE intro video - build strong mobile feet “In the past I had visions of the person I wanted to be.  I always wanted to be one of those people who exercised regularly and worked outside with nature and now that is what I nearly am.  My first step towards this was to find a way to nurture myself and get moving.  Andrea’s amazing ability to keep each class interesting and challenging and meet my individual needs as I have progressed has kept me on this path.  My feet feel amazing, my lower back is no longer stiff and I am now feeling strength develop in my core, shoulders and back that I have never experienced before.  I have met a wonderful group of people from my local area and after every session I feel rejuvenated and free, both in my body and mind.  Andrea is really one of those unique individuals who have the mix just right to install confidence, to encourage and give kindness and support to keep you moving forward.” Sharon’s Life Changing Story here</image:caption>
