Mindful Movements

Mindfulness isn’t just stillness! Mindful movements are another great way to practice paying attention and getting curious, and any movement can be mindful when we bring an attitude of openness and awareness to our bodies. When we practice mindfulness this way, it cultivates interoception, meaning awareness of the feelings and sensations of the body, which correlates to better wellbeing and mental health outcomes.
