Mindful Movement
Course: Mindful Movement
This course centres on befriending your body.
The gentle approach of Hatha yoga, known as mindful movement, is part of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programme.
This is a four—or six-week introduction course delivered in 60-minute sessions. As we reconnect with the body, we will use compassion and kindness toward ourselves. These exercises can be done sitting, standing, or lying down.

Mindful movement refers to engaging in different exercises while focusing your attention on the movements of your body as well as your breathing.
It will inspire you to bring intention and awareness to every move you make and support you to focus on the quality of your movements and how they make you feel.
The sessions will empower you with basic stretches and mindful insight into how you take care of yourself and your body.
