The
purpose of Mindful Movement (Mentastics) is to stimulate your desire to
explore through movement a unique approach to self-development and
psych-physical (MIND/BODY) integration.
Mindful
Movement is for those who are seeking freedom of movement and ease in
their body and mind. We are the sum total of every feeling
experience mental and physical, positive and negative that we have ever
had in our lives. These feeling experiences are stored in the
unconscious mind and cannot be erased. Mindful
Movement are mentally directed movements that suggest to the mind
feelings of lightness, freedom, openness, grace, and pleasure resulting
in an ageless body. Mindful
Movement classes begin with awareness of breathing, full lung capacity
breathing. Checking in/noticing how you feel physically and
mentally before we begin movement. We will move into
shift of weight and be aware of what your range of motion and movement
is in your body. The classes are tailored to each individual
and their capacity of movement. Staying within your comfort
zone is vital!! As your body will allow we will explore
movement with ease. The classes will be an hour so we have
plenty of time to stretch and flex your entire body.
Julia
has worked with all ages and skill levels, so please be comfortable as
you can be in these classes. Pull up a chair if you need
to.
