About this event
In the Mindful Movements workshop we will practice somatic exercises. Somatic exercises focus on the mind-body connection and help you become more aware of your physical sensations and release tension stored in the muscles.
We will learn movements from diverse ancient BodyMind traditions like Yoga and Qigong but also Mobility and Strength exercises, nervous system relaxation exercises, Self Massage, BreathWork and Meditation. This workshop will give you access to a bag full of tools to integrate healthy habits and beneficial practices in your daily life.
Come as you are, into a safe, accepting space where we will be able to exercise compassion and loving kindness towards ourselves and others.
Please wear comfortable clothes! 😊
