Is this for you?

MindMoveFlow is designed for people who spend their day at a desk. You don't need to be a dancer, flexible, or "good at movement."

For Teams

You manage a team that works from home or at desks. You want a wellbeing initiative that's practical, gentle, and actually gets used. Not another app that people forget to open.

Group workshops from £200

For Individuals

You work from home or at a desk all day. You've heard about somatic movement but don't know where to start. You want gentle, guided movement that helps you notice what your body needs — not another app, just real attention.

1:1 sessions and open workshops coming soon

For Remote Workers

You spend hours on video calls. Your neck, shoulders, and back feel it. You need a practice that fits into your day — not another thing to schedule, but something you can do between meetings.

15-minute sessions, no equipment

Two ways to bring MindMoveFlow to your team

Live, guided sessions that help teams reset attention, release desk tension, and build body awareness. Delivered online or in person — no equipment, no dance experience needed.

What happens in a session

Every MindMoveFlow session follows a simple, four-part arc. No choreography to learn. No equipment to buy. Just gentle, guided movement that helps you notice what your body needs.

01

Arrive

We start by settling in. A few breaths, a moment to notice how you're feeling right now — no judgement, just observation.

02

Move

Gentle, guided movements — joint mobilisation, spine rolls, upper and lower body flows. All doable at your desk, seated or standing.

03

Notice

Between movements, we pause. What changed? Where is there ease? Where is there still tension? This is where the mindfulness lives.

04

Return

We close by returning to the breath and the body. A moment of stillness before you go back to your day — calmer, more present, more you.

The four-session arc

01

Arriving into the Body

Reset attention and nervous system regulation.

Through somatic self-regulation — using body-based movements and touch to calm the nervous system — this session helps participants shift out of mental overload and into the body. Research shows that body awareness is significantly linked to work performance. Participants arrive distracted, tense, and in their heads. They leave more present, more alert, and more regulated.

02

Circles, Waves & Curves

Release desk tension and restore joint mobility.

Joint by joint, the body opens through circular, wave-like movement — the kind your body craves after hours at a desk. These movement patterns are consistent with current research on autonomic nervous system regulation, promoting a state of safety and social engagement. Participants release stiffness in the neck, shoulders, spine, and hips without forcing or straining.

03

Choosing the Move

Rebuild focus through autonomous, self-directed movement.

Participants are given a simple menu of movements and invited to choose — eyes closed, following their body's own signals. This is where something shifts. Research shows mind-body interventions outperform physical exercise alone for reducing stress and burnout. By Session 3, participants are no longer following instructions — they're listening to their own bodies, many for the first time.

04

Free Flow

Integrate body and mind for lasting cognitive benefit.

The final session removes all guidance. The body moves on its own — or stays still, which is equally valid. This is where the practice becomes self-sustaining. Research shows mindfulness-based programmes in the workplace produce benefits that persist at three-month follow-up. By Session 4, your team hasn't just had a wellbeing session — they've built a practice they can return to on their own.

Each session builds on the last. By Session 4, the body is leading — and the mind is following. That's the practice.

What participants say

Real feedback from people who've experienced a MindMoveFlow session.

“My attention became more focused as the session went on, and I felt more alert by the end of the session.”
Julia
“My attention deepened as the session unfolded, and I felt a real sense of release.”
Ruth
“It took me a while to settle in, but my attention drifted less and less as the session progressed — the pace and approach were accessible and organic.”

About Maryane

I'm Maryane Exelby, a somatic movement and mindfulness facilitator with 10+ years of experience. I founded MindMoveFlow to help people who sit too much and move too little discover what their body can do when they give it attention.

My approach is informed by somatic practice — movement that starts from within, not from copying shapes. I trained at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance (MA Creative Practice) and Manchester Metropolitan University (BA Dance, First Class). I deliver sessions in English and Portuguese.

I believe the body is our most underused resource. Not in a gym-and-reps way, but in a gentle, curious, noticing way. The kind of movement that makes you feel more like yourself, not less.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any dance or movement experience?

No. MindMoveFlow is designed for people with no movement background. The sessions are gentle, guided, and adaptable — you work within your own range, at your own pace.

Is this suitable for remote workers?

Yes. MindMoveFlow was designed with desk-based and remote workers in mind. The sessions can be done in a small space, at your desk, in whatever you're wearing.

What do participants need to bring?

Nothing. No equipment, no special clothing, no yoga mat. Just a small space and a willingness to move gently. Sessions can be done seated or standing.

How long are the sessions?

The 45-minute workshop runs for 45 minutes. The 4-session programme consists of four 15–20 minute sessions. Both can be delivered online or in person.

Can sessions be delivered in Portuguese?

Yes. Maryane is bilingual and delivers sessions in English or Portuguese. This can be especially valuable for Portuguese-speaking teams or international organisations.

What's included with a corporate booking?

Every corporate booking includes the live workshop or programme, delivered online or in person. Sessions are interactive and guided — your team moves together in real time. After the session, you'll receive reflection prompts and follow-up guidance to help integrate the practice into the working day.

Is this therapy?

No. MindMoveFlow is a wellbeing practice, not therapy or medical treatment. It complements but does not replace professional mental health or medical support. If you have specific health concerns, please consult a qualified professional.
