We’ve been told that workouts should be tough, grueling, and challenging. We’ve been told that a good workout is one that leaves us nauseous, in pain, and at risk of injury. Working out does not have to look this way for everyone, and for most people, it shouldn’t. Mindful movement is an approach that breaks away from this all-or-nothing exercise routine that many have endured or associated with working out. Instead, it encourages you to focus on how your body feels moving through the motions rather than the number of calories burned. 

Mindful movement encourages movement and activity while also restoring presence to your actions. While the activities themselves can be different for every individual, the act of being mindful of what you are doing, where you are, and how you’re feeling, do not change. It brings into perspective what your intentions are within your movements. Practicing mindful movement can bring presence, enlightenment, and joy to any activity while also encouraging exercise in your actions. Let’s talk more about what that looks like.
