Mind-Up: Mindful Movement


Hello Scholars,

This week's video will focus on mindful movement. Mindful movement means that we are paying close attention to the sensations in our body when it is at rests and it when it is active. Remember that our body is always sending us messages, so continue to practice paying close attention to your body sensations so that we can give it what it needs
