what is mindful movement?

Mindful movement is a mixture of yoga, mindfulness meditation, breathing, and relaxation exercises.  I work with my clients to calm their mind by first calming their body.  I believe that when we feel safe, confident, strong, and steady in our body our emotional well-being follows suit. 

Mindful Movement is not about fitness. It is about emotional health and well-being. My approach is collaborative and accessible so we move as much or a little as you prefer, along with talking. This may be a good fit if you are looking for support to cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, or chronic stress.

  • Improve focus and attention to the present moment

In addition to being a Registered Yoga Teacher Danelle has completed a program to expand her mindful movement knowledge and skills through a 140 hour Yoga Psychology Professional Program. This is a trauma informed and brain sensitive program that compliments Danelle’s approach of utlizing yoga as a resource for a clients mental and emotional wellness plan.

“When I found Danelle, I was looking for someone who understood and appreciated this connection between our minds and bodies. And because the vulnerability was not something I was comfortable with, who would be open to using body movement to talk about deeper topics. We would talk first, then get into gentle movement, then when I was in a relaxed position, she would lead me through a mediation. I truly feel like I’m experiencing a deeper connection and a growing love for myself because I took this journey with my whole self.”
