Mindful Move Groove is a movement form created by Victoria as a playful way to help all sorts of people be more physically active and to become more comfortable in their movement abilities and choices.
Mindful Movement, also known as somatic movement, is an approach to movement that increases the movers’ awareness of themselves as a mover. It combines education with guided focused attention to support the mover in becoming a more knowledgeable and capable mover.
NJ, 74, long time body worker/player says, "After our sessions I come out energized and more aware of how I am carrying myself. I find my movement is more smooth and I'm not carrying my weight so high. The class is lively, and the music makes me want to dance dance dance even while seated."
Mindful Move Groove is designed to be an enjoyable “exercise” class, one that enlivens and strengthens the participants while also deepening their spiritbodymind awareness.
Mindful Move Groove exercises the spirit, the mind AND the body!
Ray 56, dealing with cerebral palsy since birth. says "I feel like Mindful Move Groove has helped me with flexibility and is rewiring my brain to allow me to function at the highest possible level!"
No experience or specific level of movement ability is required. Dress in layers and for comfort while moving. Participants wear rubber soled shoes or move with bare feet, as works best for them. Mindful Move Groove is designed to be done standing or seated, although we have explored somatic ground work at the request of the participants! All movement sequences can be adjusted in real time to meet the needs of every participant present.
Susie, 54 year-old participant says "Mindful Move Groove is a meditative gentle-movement exercise class. Victoria creates a safe and non-judgmental space where people of varying physical ability and fitness can learn about, explore, and rediscover body awareness and movement. The class has increased my strength, flexibility, and presentness. I really enjoy the diverse playlist and fun choreography
