Setting the Stage

In this video, you’ll begin to learn some of the differences between moving for health and moving for fitness. Do not skip it :-)

Moving to heal your body is very different than moving to get fit.


First, we want to lead with the breath. Try this, lift your arms up. Now take a breath, and notice how your arms move. Next, take a breath, and use the breath to move the arms.


This can be quite subtle, and don't worry if you can't feel it yet. Tuning into the subtleties of sensation - the small movements, how your breath can affect these movements, and even how your emotions and intention influence movement - are essential to this practice.

Second, focus on what you can do, not what you can't. For instance, head rotations. This is a relatively simple concept to get, but can be done in an infinite number of ways. 

Lastly, move with pleasure. Now if you're in pain, pleasure may feel impossible. In that case, move in the way that is most comfortable to you, allows you to breathe the most, and eventually with practice, you'll recover this innate, pleasureful aspect of movement.

And one last note, you may be most interested in relieving a certain symptom, and the impulse to just do part of the program may be strong. We encourage you to do the full program, even if you don’t do it exactly in order. These exercises compliment each other, and you’ll mostly get the most benefit from trying them all. At the end, you’ll be encouraged to make your own custom moving medicine personal care practice based off of all your favorite exercises, something you’ll enjoy doing daily for 10 - 15 minutes, so you can continue taking care of yourself beyond these videos.

 That’s it! Let’s jump right in. Click the video below :-)
