Rescape
An 16-week group journey to reshape your relationship with the body.
Led by Robbie O’Driscoll
I’m a father of two with over 13 years’ experience in exercise and movement coaching, facility creative direction, and manual therapy. I’ve worked with more than a thousand people, and for me the value of physical practice comes down to one thing: staying able to play, and playing.
I work at the intersection of strength, movement, and holistic health. I’ve trained with leading teachers worldwide and developed the Rescape process to help people reshape their relationship with body. This I’ve discovered, is far more enriching than any exercise program.
Alongside this course, I host an annual Games event — a test and celebration of the capacities we build together.
What is Rescape?
Rescape is a process I’ve developed over the last decade — weaving strength training, movement, reflective writing, and stillness into a single journey. It’s about building capacity, clarity, and play. I consider it: poetry in motion.
This course offers you a chance to step into that process within a supportive group, with guidance, practice, and space to reflect.
Rescape is for those who…
Feel caught in a rut, moving but going nowhere.
Live in an aching body, unsure how to begin again.
Are restless, tired, or reaching for distraction when stillness calls.
Feel cut off from play, from joy, from the craic that once felt natural.
Sense their creativity limping, waiting for release.
Who long to move towards:
A body that is strong, elastic, and alive.
A clear head, and the means to return to it.
Confidence, ease, and the feeling of being at home in yourself.
Connection — with your body, loved ones, and the work that matters.
Creative potency: ideas flowing, expression unblocked.
And who feel now is the time to:
Enhance personal strength — physically, mentally, and spiritually
Bring curiosity to the work of renewal.
Form an enjoyable practice that deepens the bond with body and movement.
Take on clear, manageable learning tasks — with support along the way.
Step into a guided journey of peace, play, and motion.

“Last year I approached Robbie for a consultation call after seeing on his Instagram account that he was reaching out for one-on-one clients to work with. I spent 12 weeks working (playing) with Robbie and the experience was completely transformative.
I thought I would just be working on getting my fitness back, doing a few push-ups and completing boring sets of exercises I hated doing but had to grin and bear it. While the work I had seen from Robbie never looked boring or something to grin and bear, my own expectations of myself were that I needed to get stamina back, and it would, of course, be annoying and uncomfortable to do so. What became apparent instead from our very first session was that Robbie was there to listen to me. Listen to how I viewed my body, my relationship with exercise, how I experienced living and how I wanted to live well. Note all the “hows” and not the “whats”!
Robbie followed my needs, thoughts and ideals and together we found what truly mattered to me. And it wasn’t getting a 6 pack or learning to back-flip! We deconstructed my limiting beliefs of my body, relationship with exercise and turned our focus on things that made me joyful. Things that made me want to move, long-term.
Robbie would propose something every week for me to do, so there was offerings of movement, mobility, strength, cardio etc. But there was also asks for written reflections, that he would never read if I didn’t want him to, but that helped me hone-in on what I appreciated about my practice, and what I could leave behind.
It is a sad thing to realise that I have rarely been given the permission to choose how I live in this body. Robbie gave me the permission to claim full agency - to say no to everything he offered if I wanted. But I grabbed hold of almost everything he taught me, of course! Because he was listening
to me, and it was fun.
In my eyes, Robbie’s main gift to this world, is the permission and discerning ability to teach (or re-teach) Play. I am a very playful person, and this is good for my overall health from digestion, to mental health, to my nervous system, to energy levels. But it is hard to remain playful in a fast-paced world filled with stressors.
I leave 12 weeks with Robbie laden with games, playful approaches to movement and confidence in my unique lived experience. I leave him having only revealed the tip of the iceberg in terms of possibilities. I can work with his movement ideas towards a long-term future where I can keep trying, playing, discarding and deepening my practice confidently and with curiosity. Robbie gave me back to myself. Suffice to say, with deepest gratitude, I cannot recommend him enough.”

Program Components
The Rescape Process brings together three key components that, when practiced in harmony, create a powerful journey of growth and self-discovery:
Over 16 weeks we’ll move through these interwoven strands experimentally— carried by the spirit of play:
1. Physical practice
Training the body through a broad spectrum of methods:
Strength training to build capacity and resilience
Explorative movement to expand creativity and awareness
Rehabilitative exercise to restore and protect function
Joint care through articulation and mobility work
Rhythm and coordination drills to sharpen timing and flow
2. Stillness practice
Developing the ability to regulate, return, and be at ease in your own skin. This strand is about learning how to be as well as how to do — cultivating clarity, patience, and presence.
3. Creative and reflective writing
Using words as a mirror to movement. Writing prompts and short reflections help you uncover patterns, shift perspective, and give language to your embodied experience.
These strands are supported by in-person workshops and regular consultation calls, giving you guidance, connection, and accountability along the way.
Together, they form a journey that is sometimes challenging, always playful, and ultimately designed to reshape your relationship with your body.

“For a comprehensive, easily digestible yet thought-provoking and thoroughly engaging way of connecting with the body and your mind - in relation to movement, well-being & space - I’d highly recommend working with Robbie as your movement coach/practitioner.
What I learned through questions that arose for me ‘how it moves, how I conceptualise myself & my movements in space relative to others, how I can continue a practice of staying connected to myself with curious exploration & within a boundary - yet still reach to achieve more - to know through a combination of sensory & scientific research and awareness - how best to grow and adapt well within myself, within a compassionate, supportive community & overtime’. Robbie is an expert at what he does with a fun-loving approach & attention to detail.
A movement artist that will inspire you to become your most able and empowered self. Blessed to have attended classes and workshops with Robbie since 2016. 💪10/10”
