The Drop In: Pre-Movement Body Attunement Practice (VIDEO)

I've always liked running, but I'm not sure I've ever loved it. Not like I do now.

Thanks to a little thing called "body attunement," I'm discovering things about myself and my body while I enjoy the movement I do. I work with my body instead of forcing her into submission, and I'm excited about a form of movement that used to feel like something I just needed to get through.

Body attunement is a pillar in my coaching practice; it's key for intrinsically-motivated movement.

Because this connection brings me so much joy and Spring feels like the perfect time to welcome in a deeper relationship with one's body, I felt inspired to make this video for you:

It's a short pre-workout body attunement exercise I like to call a "drop in." It's about 5 minutes and will help you get in touch with your body, reach out an olive branch and invite her/them/him to communicate with you throughout the workout.

Even if you plan to push yourself (especially if you do), this exercise is a great way to stay in touch with your body throughout to avoid injury and all-or-nothing thinking.

I really hope it helps you find a deeper connection with your body so you can reap all the benefits that come from it.

Here's to you being BFFs with you!
