De-Stressing: Movement Meditations

by Lesley Powell

With running a business, trying to relocate it and dealing with today’s headlines, it is a stressful time.  It is a stressful time for all with the threats of layoffs, the world economy and the changes that are happening.

I am thankful to have movement to help destress me.  We all need moments to refocus our minds away from the stress.  For me, the movement practices of Pilates, yoga and somatics help me find ease in my body and my mind.

Even me as a professional movement teacher, I do better of focusing when I am in class.  The teacher helps me focus on their lesson plans and my body’s sensations.  I also once a week go to a drawing class.  I call this my therapy.  This therapy takes me to a total different side of my brain.

Group classes are great and affordable ways to destress, share with others, learn and feel great.  I hope that everyone can find a way to free their mind to destress.
