Where should I sleep?

There are many hotels in the London area which are only a Google search away. We’d suggest securing accommodation sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

Airbnb and VRBO are also good resources for finding affordable housing.

Getting around in London

London is a big city! The London Transit system is excellent, to plan your travel for either the Tube or the bus you can use this link,  London Public Transit . Depending on where you are coming from, both the Piccadilly line and the District line will bring you to the Hammersmith Station. The Re:Centre is just a 10-15 minute walk from that station.

Taxis are also available (Yellow London Taxi). Another great way to get around London is their public bike service. There is a Santander Bike rack right by the Re:Centre.

What’s there to do in London?

London is rich with history; Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral, Covent Gardens, Big Ben are all very special places to see and definitely worth the visit. If modern is more your thing there is something there for you too. The Tate Modern is a free gallery dedicated to modern and contemporary art.

There are a variety of galleries, shows in the Theatre District and some of the best restaurants in the western world here! A great way to see a lot of places at a discounted rate is to use The London Pass.

Each day will go something like

• Plan to arrive for 9:45 am (settle, chit-chat, personal time)
• Morning segment runs from 10am-12:30pm
• Lunch break: 12:30pm-2:15pm
• Afternoon segment: 2:30pm-4:30pm

We strongly recommend that you be IN Vancouver the day before the workshop begins. 

In all our years holding workshops and events we’ve found that it’s not beneficial for you to rush into a workshop and rush out without having any time to soak up the new surroundings and integrate the time (and money) you’ve invested in yourself. 

We also recommend planning NO TRAVEL the night after the workshop, so you keep the transformation your body and mind has experienced during the workshop. 

We suggest that you avoid sitting in a car and driving (or flying) for 5 hours after spending three days moving, grooving and learning. When you give yourself the time for arriving before and added integration afterwards you’ll deepen your learning experience in so many ways.

For those who live in Vancouver and surrounding areas, we recommend the same.

Schedule your night before the workshop to be open and free of stress and allow for plenty of travel time to the venue during the workshop. After the workshop ends, have your time open for YOU so you can also integrate and let the workshop sink in.

course prior to the workshop date or have participated in SmartBody SmartMind (SBSM).

Due to the nature of the advanced methods of Feldenkraisian learning and high level group work (this includes touch and partner work) and social engagement for three days in a row, we need to ensure all participants have the capacity to work through theory and practical neurosensory exercises within, at the minimum, the 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up course.

This workshop IS for you if you meet the above requirement and are looking to improve your existing self-regulation capacity in the good company of other like-minded folks who are ready to dive in, play, and do some deep learning at all levels.

The post #2 Why is completing the 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up course a requirement? appeared first on Up & Down Registration and Information.

We ask that you have the capacity to get down onto the floor without needing any aid from a wall, or a chair, or cane. You can be shaky and off balance, that’s NOT a problem, we’ll work on that! But we want to ensure you have enough functional and aerobic capacity to get onto the floor solo, and return back to standing solo.

We also ask that you have the capacity to lie down comfortably in all positions (on your back, side-lying, on your front) for a lengthy period of time (30 – 45 minutes).
