Posture and Movement
MINDFUL MOVEMENT AND BODY AWARENESS
Constant awareness of whatever you are doing is essential to promote healing, prevent injury, and enhance postural alignment and movement efficiency. When we respond mindfully, we break habits. Observe your body in a non-judgmental way to adjust posture and movement patterns. Mindful movement is “meditation in motion” with posture and movement the object of meditation.”
