We invite you to put on some headphones, turn off any distractions, clear an arms length of space around you, and start swaying or stepping from side to side and feel the sensations of your body and breath in motion. See if you can release any thoughts about what it looks like and instead focus on what it feels like. Close your eyes if it is comfortable to do so.

Over the course of the 5 minutes you can add in whatever other movements feel good in the moment for your body - think circles in all parts of your body and joints, zig zags, big opening and closing motions, vibration and shaking. If you start having some fun, that’s the idea!

Adjust anything above to make it good for your abilities, comfort level and surroundings. If you feel a little awkward at times, that’s normal - this is a mindful movement practice where we are gently interacting with the full spectrum of human emotion and sensation.
