Mindful movement

Space is all around us, expanding in every direction. Often, we only focus on what is in front of us, and sometimes forget about the space behind us, above us, below us, and on each side of us. Ngā Aronga e Ono is a mindful movement that helps us to connect with space in all directions: to the right, left, forwards, backwards, upwards, and downwards.
