One of the most challenging aspects of sitting meditation is the lack of movement that wants to release as we slow down our minds. Often we can force ourselves into a freeze “trying” to meditate. This practice arose from the Dance Movement Therapy program at Naropa University as a way to create a continuity between sitting in meditation and moving with attention to our sensations.

We will be guided into a short basic breathing meditation which then moves with some simple prompts into moving. We go back and forth between sitting and simple movement.
