Description
This course is more than just moving for fitness and exercise. It's about moving to understand yourself better. There are multiple layers of healing that are held in the body, and by addressing movement as a form of medicine, you will be given the key to unlock these layers and to feel free in your body.
In this course, you'll get to know your body on a new level and you'll feel inspired to move. You'll connect with your inner voice through a range of guided sessions.
You'll be introduced to different movement practices, ranging from yang (dynamic) movement, to yin (slow and steady) movement.
You'll look at ways to include incidental exercise in your day, and how to swap out old habits for new, healthy habits.
This course is perfect for you if you want to set movement goals and achieve them!
Step by step, you'll learn how to set a SMART goal, and how to be inspired to stay on track with your goals so that you can feel fit and healthy in your body.
Movement as Medicine is the first pillar of the Five Pillars of Holistic Health. It is important to focus on movement as a way of feeling free in your body.
When you understand your body, and how to listen to what your body needs, you'll be on the right track to feeling strong and empowered!
