Mindful movement can help keep you strong, fit and flexible. It also helps train the mind. By noticing what happens as we move, we can develop flexibility of attention and become more self-aware.
IMPORTANT: If any of the movements feel unsafe, then you may choose to just watch and not participate for that section, or find a way to adjust the movement so that it feels safe for your body.
Before you start any movement video, tune-in to the body. Notice the feeling of your feet on the floor and the position of your body.
As you do the movements, notice the changes in your body sensations, breathing and body temperature.
After the movement, notice how the body feels when you stop. What if anything has changed? How do you feel?
