More Mindful Movement Coming this Month |
By popular demand, a second session of Mindful Movement is back on Fridays at Noon.
In Mindful Movement, participants are invited to link movement with breath if they find that useful. Basic seated, standing, and supine poses will be presented and variations on each pose will be offered to accommodate the uniqueness of each person's relationship with their body. Each week, the practice will conclude with a 10-minute period of meditation and relaxation, which will include options for people who prefer to continue with movement rather than stillness.
