The Joy of Movement

When is the last time someone encouraged you to move in a way that feels joyful? When is the last time someone suggested you do more with your body than follow someone else’s rules about how to stand, how to eat, how to breathe? Has anyone ever suggested that you explore the possibility of moving and breathing and resting with delight?In this 25-minute practice we'll explore the joy of movement - the quiet happiness of moving the body in a free and easy way, with no agenda other than savoring the sensations of life as they pass through us. We'll let our bodies out of their cages to roam the landscape with curiosity and freedom, and we'll observe how this exploration changes the mind, the mood, the body and the breath. We have been well-trained since childhood to follow the call of the outer world, to be good students and good sheep. Maybe it’s time we recover our inner agency and reclaim our inborn wisdom. We may be surprised by how our lives bloom when we spend a little more time listening inward, learning more about who we are and how we most want to spend our days. The whole world may come alive as we rediscover the simple joy of being here, now… present and moving through the world with ease and quiet delight.
