Leela brought Soul Motion from the USA to the UK, beginning ongoing community groups in Totnes that continue to this day. Early groups were Tao of Dance - mediation and movement to silence, Leading from Within and Dance Lab Fridays.
2016 was the year that Adam graduated as a Soul Motion teacher in the US. It was also the beginning of our diverse journey hosting workshops with visiting international teachers, providing inspiration and CPD for the local community.
In 2019, Leela founded Movement for Life Community Group, a partner of ours, inviting local committee members and collaborating with many local dance facilitators since. Together we have pioneered accessible projects for women, mothers, carers, families, and people with health challenges, including our online Movement for Well-being and Family Dance, all projects benefiting from National Lottery Community funding and providing access to all.
The first UK Soul Motion practitioner training cohort ran 2023–2025, formalising local teacher development and supporting graduates to lead community projects, and professional pathways. Led by Leela and assisted by Adam.
We continue to diversify our local work while collaborating with local collages & graduates, who run their own offerings and sometimes have chance to take over existing projects.
New initiatives explore Devon’s tidal coastline and other creative directions, while we are developing the next training cohort with continuing focus on sustainable, locally rooted practice.
We hosted international teachers and elder facilitators from lineages including Soul Motion, Tamalpa, and Body & Earth. Highlights include:
