What does Awareness Through Movement feel like?
In the beginning…
In this style of class, you take stock of how you feel at the beginning. Then, you lie down and start to notice your senses.
Let go of effort…
The teacher talks, guides. You follow along to try out slow, easy, playful moves. You foreground your awareness, letting go of effort, dwelling in ease. It feels like mindfulness in motion. Explore movement patterns that unfold and build over time.
Take time, be in the moment…
Let go of (self) judgement. Be a movement investigator. Be a solver of physical riddles. Take your time. Hear what your body has to say to you. Immerse yourself in the moment, mindfully. Sense, feel what you do. Sense what else you could do too.
More options are possible…
New neural pathways are formed between your sensory and motor systems. You have more options.
Dissolve tension, breathe easily, enjoy movement, feel refreshed…
Be surprised as you improve, as your habits untangle. Dissolve tension, strain and effort. Breathe smoothly, fully. Recover pleasure in moving. Grow your movement vocabulary. Refine co-ordination and skill. Connect with your inner resources. Feel refreshed.
Small moves, big gains…
Take what you have learnt into your day to day. Small moves. Big gains. Movement lessons. Life lessons.
