Mindful Movement

We know from research that exercise not only supports physical health, it’s one of the most powerful mental health interventions we have, and it doesn’t have to cost a dime. But, what if the way you move matters just as much as the movement itself?In this episode, we explore how combining mindfulness with physical movement can amplify the mental health benefits of exercise. We break down what “mindful movement” actually means (hint: it’s not just yoga or meditation) and why paying attention while you move can help reduce anxiety, improve mood, and calm your nervous system.And, if you find it hard to stay motivated on your own, join us for our Mental Health in Motion campaign this May in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month: https://app.99pledges.com/fund/ittakesguts To contribute to our mission or to access our downloadable infographics and worksheets, find us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or visit our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Music Credit: Nathan Byrne with Reel Byrne Media.Note: The information in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical or therapeutic advice.
