Ways that we might not think of being movement they are fun can be anything from dancing, roller skating, rock climbing, Tai chi, or boxing. So, with the idea of spending hours on a yoga mat does not appeal to you, why not consider something that seems more like fun.
With the start of dry January, many may be foregoing having the usual dance. But with the arrival off dry dance parties, cacao ceremonies, and more conscious events, you can move and express yourself in whatever way your body needs too. Five rhythms is one such style where the music takes you on a journey through different paces and rhythms through to stillness.
Feel into what your body needs, is it stretching, think Pilates, yoga, arial silks, tai chi.
Is it conditioning and strengthening, try weights, climbing, cycling, trampolining, running.
Endurance, what about kayaking, mountain walking, martial arts, and horse riding
When we discover that we love doing something we are more likely to keep it up, not only does doing something new introduce us to a new group of people but we also are learning and improving ourselves that helps with our mindset and overall wellbeing.
During the cold winter months, we tend to hibernate more, but the secret to being active is keeping moving, playing. Doing a little bit more each day. Start with chair exercises you can do chair yoga etc and work your way up. Things that help with flexibility and stability are particularly good for those of us feeling our age, or maybe low impact sports like swimming.
Whatever it is that is calling to you, why not go for it, your joints, bones, and muscles will thank you for it. Â So, whether you are going to be hitting the mountains, the gym, or getting on YouTube for some new moves, enjoy. As we move, we allow the release of trauma stored in our bodies, so massage stretching, moving, and breathing can all help to bring us back to our best self. Ask your body what it needs, and wants, what you would enjoy and be prepared for amazing results to not just your body but your whole being.
