Mindful Movement

“Perhaps the most “spiritual” thing any of us can do is simply to look through our own eyes, see with eyes of wholeness, and act with integrity and kindness.” ― Jon Kabat-Zinn

Mindful Movement is one way to practice Mindfulness and can be expressed as dance, yoga, tai chi, or simply taking a walk on the beach. They can also be intentional "movement snacks"--short practices to improve health, well-being, and comfort.

Mindful Walking with Kathy Dewet

Movement "Snacks"

Muscular Breathing with Kathy Dewet

When we sit at a computer all day, we have a tendancy to breathe shallowly, with shoulders forward, reducing the space needed for healthful expansion of the lungs.

Try "Muscular Breathing" during your day to counteract the ill effects of your online life.

Hip Moves With a Chair with Kathy Dewet

If you find yourself sitting, or even standing in place, most of the day, your hips can get tired and stiff, even affecting your balance.

Try Hip Moves With a Chair to reopen your hips and bring you comfort.

Opposition Pose with Kathy Dewet

This strategy is great for strengthening the "core" (abdomenal muscles) to help with body alignment and prevent or reduce back discomfort, and is especially good for people staying seated for long periods of time.

Give Opposition Pose a try!

Mobilize Your Spine with Kathy Dewet

When sitting or standting for long periods of time, the back can tighten and become less mobile, leading to discomfort and potential health problems.

Try Mobilize Your Spine to inject some movement into your day.
