Mindfulness in Motion: An Experience in Awareness

Description

This session invites participants to step away from their screens and reconnect with their bodies through a combination of simple movement and guided awareness.

We begin with a short check-in to notice what’s present—physically and mentally—before moving into gentle, accessible movements that can be done desk-side. Throughout, the emphasis is not on performing movements correctly, but on staying connected to the experience of moving: feeling the body, sensing effort, and noticing when attention drifts.

Participants are encouraged to return to that connection, over and over again throughout the session, building a different kind of awareness than what typically carries them through the workday.

The session closes with a second check-in and a simple, memorable exercise that can be revisited throughout the day. A brief reflection invites participants to consider how this way of paying attention differs from their usual patterns, and how it may relate to how they feel and function throughout the day.
