Mindful movement is all about tuning into those sensations. The
feel of your feet on the ground, the stretch in
your hamstrings, the rise and fall of your chest as
you breathe. This heightened awareness helps you understand your body's
needs and signals, leading to better posture, stronger muscles, and
even injury prevention. Fourth, Mental clarity Champion. Overthinking got you down.

up for yourself with kindness and grace. So let me
