About The Event
Just Being Center for Mindfulness & Presence, Pune presents a workshop on Awareness through Movement (ATM)- a journey of inner listening and becoming aware of the quality of our actions. Our life’s story, emotions, and ways of thinking become ingrained in our musculature and skeleton. As you become interested in living a conscious lifestyle, the body needs to be part of that journey. Muscles that have gotten used to being rigid in fear, for example, need to learn/discover new, more relaxed ways of serving you.
Let your inner experience guide you towards what’s right for you
What will happen at the workshop?
ATM lessons are verbally guided, gentle movement explorations during which the facilitator continuously guides the participants’ awareness.
Often, this learning process has a slow and meditative quality. You become aware of a wide range of aspects: feeling the quality of stability & balance, mobility, smoothness of breath, distribution of effort, coordination, orientation in space.
You will be surprised that you yourself find more pleasant and graceful ways of moving. You can now choose those new ways, rather than following habits that do not serve you anymore.
With this new quality of your actions, you will spontaneously relate to yourself and the people around you with more clarity and authenticity.
What will you need for the workshop?
1. Kindly carry a floor mat, optimally wider and a bit softer than a yoga mat and a towel that can be folded under the head (Note: a cushion instead of a towel does not work as the head sinks into it too much and isn’t free to move).
2. Please wear comfortable clothing for movement
