MINDFUL MOVEMENT

Learning to live and move with a deeper level of awareness

It is a common human experience that we live much of our lives on automatic pilot. We do this to cope with a world that presents a multitude of distractions— electronic media, multi-tasking, distracting thoughts (perseverating about the past and fretting about the future), and seemingly endless external demands. For some of us, pain and past trauma can lead us to want to disconnect from what we are experiencing physically. All of these things take us out of the awareness of our body. Over time we can begin to develop habitual behaviors that might feel normal but actually can lead to the development of unconscious maladaptive movement patterns.  For many of us, our routines are so engrained in our lives that we aren’t even aware of their impact. But they do have an effect. Over time they can result in decreased variety of movement, restrictions, and imbalances in the body.
