Mindful Stretch invites you to breathe, stretch, rest, and recover. Most of my clients and students workout and train hard. My goal as a teacher and coach is to reconnect you back to your body and heart. Moving in this manner allows for ease, fluidity, and authenticity.
After teaching for 6 years I’ve come to learn that there are certain movements that will bring you back into your body however the key to it all is to breathe.
Recently I posted to my Tik Tok that the reason why I tell my students to breathe with their movements is because when you’re thinking your movements and not feeling them it causes dissonance, a clunklyness that causes you to feel awarkward and not in alignment with your body. It can take some time to get there and that’s ok-many of us have been operating in survival mode and/or just a rigid way of being. However when you take your time, and breathe you begin to move a bit slower, causing deeper self awareness and with that you feel your body begin to move in a way that is more aligned.
If you are someone who has struggled to get into certain postures, or connect with your body try a few of my favorite stretches, they will support you in getting that connection back, and moving in flow.
