Your 4-week challenge: Every week this month (keep an eye out for a new workout every Monday), we'll be sharing a routine that focuses on promoting mindfulness and mental health.
Don't worry about what these movements look like, but rather focus on how they feel in your body. This routine is phenomenal if you're feeling stuck, blocked, or just want to bring a little more energy and creativity into your day. How can you tap into that discomfort, move through it, then find new spaciousness and expansion that exists on the other side?īelow, you can follow along with us as we lead you through different move prompts-but really, it's about finding your own rhythm and tempo. Having an improv practice, whether it's regular or something you tap into occasionally, allows you to discover new ways of thinking, moving, and interacting with the world.ĭepending on what you're carrying into your practice, improv can be very difficult or uncomfortable at times.
#THE MINDFUL MOVEMENT HOW TO#
Discover how to be mindful while your body is in motion.
Most of the other formal meditation practices involve being still, and you may find movement an easier door into mindful practice. This is a type of mindful workout that allows you to drop into your body and explore what type of movement feels great for you. Mindful movement shows you a way of coming into the here and now. One of our favorite exercises for connecting with your body is what we call a gentle improvisation routine. In fact, in our classes at Good Move-a dance and mindful fitness studio for movers of all levels, genders, races, shapes, and sizes-we're all about finding joy, freedom, and empowerment through movement. While fitness can be valuable for building physical strength and endurance-it's also a phenomenal tool for mental health.
