"It was a very powerful
catylst for me in terms of healing my own personal relationship to my yang
energy and celebrating the beauty of my yin energy . I feel a tangible difference
in my life, one that i am very grateful for . I feel a beautiful sense of
freedom and strength within . In particular i notice that in my work as
a GP - i am much clearer in my decision making with patients , i am also
feeling much more grounded and less affected by my patients ' emotions '
or ' stories ' while remaining openhearted .... Dancing those shadows has
brought quite a shift for me ! I am also loving the practice of micro movements,
which i find draws me very subtly into my body and i can avail of that movement
at any time ..... my body is always waiting to be inhabited by breath sometimes
those small movements are just the invitation . I have been enjoying your
meditation of opening the soles of the feet to the earth -and am using it
during my day - and yes am feeling more connected and centred.... so thank
you .....for what feels like a very joyous opening on my journey."

"Re-connecting in
'Source' as Spring bursts forth all around us, was a journey of great joy;
not that 'my shit' didn't come up - of course it did! However, the dance
space helped me,as it usually does, to allow the Divine intervention of
breath and being to slip between the tyranny of false-self and useless,
repetitive thinking, and reveal the 'Higher Self'. This process meant freeing
every moment - whether fuelled by pleasure or pain - to be a genuinely joy-filled
experience.
Ya'acov manages to embody the dualities we were working with - of masculine
and feminine - while synergising those into wholeness and one-ness.Intense,
yet light; soldily 'Yang' yet beautifully 'Yin'; one moment appearing to
me like a soulful Bruce Willis at his decks, the next radiating the soft
levity of a humming bird in flight.
For me, it's 'ground' - that's what Ya'acov brings; strong Taurean Dragon
energy. Most of my previous ten years' dance experience has at some point
involved a varying degree of giddy airiness. In the 'Source' space, I experienced
huge liftings and lightness, but I was taught - or reminded - to keep my
centre of gravity low, hips working, knees bent, thighs strong and firm,
enabling all the 'airy' shenanigans to unfold whilst still being firmly
on the ground and in the body. I also felt how 'Yang' energy really comes
out of the hips and pelvis, and the 'Yin' holds that down through the legs.
Truly wonderful. I felt - and feel so much love for Ya'acov for his work.
And it's affordable too! Thank you so much! With boundless gratitudes'.

"What Ya'Acov said
went straight into my heart. I met him the first time. On Friday, when he
was talking, all the time tears where running down my face. I felt touched
and moved from his inviting just to be myself, to be allowed how I am. "

"Thank you so much
for a wonderful workshop where
there was absolute permission to expressive and explore my sexual energy
in all its glory! I was able to uncover, express verbally and through
dance parts of my past “shameful”; sexual experiences fully
for
the first time. By the end of the weekend the connections I was able to
amke with myself and others was profound, beautiful and alive. I am
looking out for more opportunties to further this wonderful work. Thank
you - keep up the wonderful work that you are doing." X Carolyn

"I have been on
many of Ya'Acov's and Sussanah's workshops all 5 Rhythms based, this was
my first experience of Movement Medicine, this was the first time I had
really felt real fear of being totally exposed and having to do my own moves
there was no were to hide, no set way to move where I could hide in if things
got to much.I had to walk into the sapce with no idea or pattern to follow
just me.I experienced great joy and liberation in that I was experiencing
my own way of moving my essential energy,this was me, frightening but liberating.
My sexual energy is all part of me not just about sex and helps me in all
aspects of my life, in articulating and expressing myselfin the world.I
feel more free'er and secure in myself than I have from any other workshop
I have done" Sarah Ashcroft Mother,Healer and Artist
