Mindful Movement Practice is a combination of Gentle Yoga, Mindfulness, Breathing, Moving Meditation, and Qigong practice.
Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is a mind/body exercise and meditation that uses slow and precise body movements with controlled breathing and mental focusing to improve balance, flexibility, muscle strength, and overall health.
Viewing pain through the lens of neuroscience takes into consideration the role the nervous system plays in the experience of pain. This approach goes beyond the structural and mechanical causes of pain, addressing the changes in the nervous system. Learning the neuroscience of pain and deepening your understanding of why you hurt is the first step to healing.
