gentle yoga: checking in with self

Checking in can be about seeing how you are doing, what you need, where you want to focus... it can be an open-ended exploration, and it's ok to end with more questions or curiosities than answers!

 
Listen to "Mov/ed Class - checking in with self"
 

What’s in this episode of Moved to Heal?

Welcome movers! This week's practice is in the same style as my live mov/ed classes in which I use offer forms and movements with some additional information about potential effects a movement might have -- possible stretch or strength effects -- always offering choices and inviting you to practice as you choose.

 
While creating this practice, I was keeping in mind how we can "check in" with self during movement.
 

The forms + movements offered in this episode

  • Reclining
  • Legs fold in
  • Twist

You can participate in this practice by listening and/or moving. You're welcome to do or not do any of the practices, and in whatever manner or degree you choose.

 
Be moving, be true, be you
