??Challenging our bodies through mindful movement releases endorphins, often called the "feel-good" chemicals.
??This is important for everyone, especially as we naturally become a little bit more sedentary as we enter the season of autumnal cosiness and pumpkin-spiced lattes.??
??But did you know that movement is one of the most effective ways to naturally relieve stress, manage anxiety, and boost your mood??
??Try this full-body breathing exercise: Explosion Breathing. Start in a standing position. Breathe in as you crouch down. Then, jump up, spreading your arms and legs as you breathe, and repeat this a few times.?
??Our most recent blog focuses on practical tips for keeping the whole family moving through brain games, creative indoor activities, and mindful outdoor activities. Read it here.
??To get you started, here is something we can all do, whatever the weather, to keep us moving.
Dance with Awareness:
Dance to music, focusing on your body's movement and the rhythm, paying attention to how each movement feels. Keep moving, stay mindful, and feel the difference!?
??Remember, "mindful movement is the art of tuning into your body, moving with intention, and finding calm in every step."
