Hello, I am Ana Barretxeguren, I am the creator of Moving Fascia®, a somatic movement method that has helped hundreds restore ease, minimise pain, and enhance fluid movement and breath.
I am a movement educator and myofascial release practitioner fascinated by the transformative quality of a somatic approach and its positive impact on health. My own experience of living with catamenial pneumothorax, a rare condition of repetitive lung collapses, has led me to a continuous investigation of fascia, focusing on the visceral space and its connections to breath and movement.
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Anatomical Sciences from the University of Edinburgh and have taught embodied anatomy to movement teachers for more than a decade. I lecture internationally and am currently collaborating on a research project exploring “the effect of breath on calming tremor for Parkinson’s disease” funded by the centre of arts and wellbeing at the University of Brighton.
For teachers and therapists
I believe that anatomy needs to be experienced through the felt sense, so I developed a programme which brings fascia theory to life, exploring the fascial architecture through embodiment, self-release and movement techniques.
For everyone
I run a private clinic in Brighton, UK as well as online. Through private sessions we work to meet specific goals such as minimising chronic pain, rehabilitating from injury or enhancing breath capacity. I guide you through movement and self-release practices using the Pilates equipment and the Moving Fascia® method as a baseline. Some sessions can additionally include manual treatment in the form of myofascial release or visceral manipulation.
For best results and to help you build a tailored practice a home you can combine private sessions with the Moving Fascia® Channel a membership online platform packed with restorative classes. Combining these I will guide you through a tailor programme easily accessible anytime anywhere.
I present internationally on fascia, movement and breath.
