A FITNESS GROUP BLENDING MINDFULNESS AND MOVEMENT

​

​Spiritual practitioners of all walks have long used body movement as a way to ground the mind in the present moment. The goal of this group is to support the healthy function of the body in order to aid in the practice of meditation and mindfulness whether running, walking, cycling, swimming, standing, sitting, or lying down. 



Meditative movement  improves the following important components of mindfulness practice:

1. concentration
2. mindfulness of body
3. mindfulness of breath
4. endurance
5. flexibility
5. core strength which supports body during seated meditation
6. upper body strength which supports body during seated meditation
