Our bodies hold on to our thoughts, beliefs, experiences and more within our tissues. Emotions, thoughts and feelings have energetic qualities as do we. We have the ability to shift and transmute what we are feeling through movement, breath, stillness and so on, which is why when we show up to our mat it can be an expression of how we have been or are currently showing up in our lives.

What is this connection and why does it matter? The mind-body connection is part of our human development where once we tune in we can learn the language our our body, how to respond to our needs and tap into the innate wisdom that is within us.

Throughout your day, do you go from task to task? Are you on the go, doing and thinking from the moment you wake until the moment you go to sleep?
