Movement Educators Mindful Movement LessonTM If you are interested in learning to move more gracefully, efficiently or simply pain free you have come to the right place! You are also in the right place if you want to take a break to reduce stress and tension. Prepare to know yourself better in a new way.

Because the effectiveness of the Mindful Movement LessonTM largely comes from you paying attention to yourself and how you are moving, it's important to do the movements slowly and gently. Do each movement several times noticing how you use yourself.	Start out very slow and small and only move as much as is completely comfortable for you. The slower and smaller you do the movement the more you will learn and the more you will notice changes. If any movement feels at all uncomfortable to you only do the movement in your imagination.	When you do the movement in your imagination, imagine it with feeling. The more feeling connected to your imagination the more you will engage your motor cortex. In this way imagining can be as effective, sometimes more, than actually moving.
Between each repetition stop completely before doing the movement again. After several repetitions of each movement it is important to pause and rest, as the instructions will state, before starting the next instruction. The lesson is designed to be done as one unit, meaning all in one sitting (or lying, as the case may be). You may want to print it out and put it aside for when you have 30 minutes to do something nice for yourself.
