Session 2 of ‘mindfulness in a difficult time’: gentle movement

This is session 2 of a 6 part introductory course to mindfulness techniques, which is about movement, stretching and breathing. It is taught by the wonderful Cathy Ward a mindfulness teacher and massage therapist. Cathy has created this for everyone, whether you have tried mindfulness before or not. Cathy’s teaching style is gentle as this course was created when many people were struggling under lockdown, so we welcome all to give it a try, especially those who are having a tough time.

In this session Cathy takes us through some gentle movement, stretching and breathing techniques to help us reconnect with our body. There is some teching on youtube and then two recorded meditations for you to try in your own time.
