Gentle Is Not Boring! with Terry Littlefield

Welcome to the first official episode of the Moved To Meditate Podcast! Today's episode is a fun and meaningful conversation with Terry Littlefield, the founder of Postures, Breath, and Joy. Terry is a yoga and movement teacher based out of Los Angeles (teaching online!). She likes to say, "I fancy purposeful movement, not fancy poses." Her classes help people develop a sustainable, life-long relationship with yoga and movement, play and rest. Since Terry has a background in improv comedy, and deep training and experience in yoga, I knew she would be the perfect person to talk to about bringing the fun and joy to gentle yoga. Together, we break down a bunch of myths about gentle practice - including the common misconception that it's boring. We talked what we don't teach in a gentle class, and what we do include. And, we covered the real benefits of gentle movement, and why people of all ages can benefit from slowing down. Don't miss Terry's fantastic pneumonic device, which LITERALLY spells out the goodness of gentle yoga: G - Gives people permission to slow down... E - Enlivens your joy... N - Nurtures your nervous system... T - Teaches compassion toward yourself and others... L - Leaves you feeling calm, centered, and rested... E - Enhances awareness of your breath... There's more, but you have to listen to find out! To connect with Terry, visit her website https://www.terrylittlefield.com Or find her YouTube Channel and Instagram profile @posturesbreathandjoy.
