What is mindful movement?

Mindful movement is a practice that combines the principles of mindfulness with physical activity, strengthening the mind-body connection. It involves being fully present and engaged in the present moment when you’re exercising, focusing on the sensations you feel, the way your body is moving, and your breath cycles.

Mindful movement often involves slow, deliberate and intentional actions. This contrasts the automatic or habitual movements that most people live on “autopilot” in their everyday lives.

Try going for a mindful walk today and see how you feel afterwards.
