As we move through life, the ways we first learned to navigate our world can become outdated. We grow in who we are, the nature of our relationships change, we live in different environments than the ones we grew up in. And how we stand—and move and who we decide we are may stop working for us. Or create painful limits in how we live and move.
Most of us preserve some of these outdated movement habits and postures. What in the beginning was a choice that helped us cope, becomes the way we are. We move by default. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Over time you can use your mindful movement practice to become conscious of who you are in action so you can make choices in how you show up and act in your life.
