Mindful Movement to Explore the Present Moment | Trauma Sensitive Yoga - 25 Minute Practice

This 25-minute trauma sensitive yoga practice offers mindful, choice-based movement as an opportunity to explore present moment awareness, possible felt sensation, and a chance to connect with your body in your own way. The practice begins with an opportunity to arrive in whatever way feels interesting to you, with opportunities to notice your surroundings, the support beneath you, and possible sensations within your body. From there, you’ll be offered options for side-body movement and spinal movement before exploring low lunges, standing shapes, leg extension, and side to side movement options. As the practice continues, there are opportunities to revisit spinal movement, explore a grounding hips-over-heels shape, possibly notice your breath and senses, and experiment with rest in your own way. Throughout the practice, everything offered is optional and your choice to explore, or not explore. There is no right or wrong way to participate, and no expectation to perform or follow any particular shape. You’re welcome to move, find stillness, pause, rest, adapt, or choose something completely different based on what feels interesting or useful to you in the moment. Perhaps this practice can simply be an opportunity to notice what is here—your body, your breath, your surroundings, your choices, or whatever else might be part of your experience today. 🌿 Learn More About Trauma Sensitive Yoga and TCTSY Center for Trauma & Embodiment: https://www.healwithcfte.org TCTSY Information Page: https://www.traumasensitiveyoga.com Locate a TCTSY facilitator in your area: https://www.traumasensitiveyoga.com/f...
