About this Event
What is the Mindful Muscle Method in a nutshell?
Mindful Muscle Method is based on the principles of Kinesiology (the study of movement), Mindfulness (intention & breath), & Self Love (challenging yourself while respecting your bodies limitations and feedback).
Each movement is specifically created to isolate a muscle or set of muscles that work together. This is to decrease the body's temptation for compensation (using other muscles instead of the ones targeted) which often leads to pain.
This isolation is extremely difficult if not impossible to achieve in most fitness programs. With my method, everyone has the ability to work to his/her intensity which makes it a safe program for all ages. Each move is done slowly, inhaling for four breaths on the contraction and exhaling for four breaths on the release.
How will I know if I am feeling the right muscle?
During both the live classes and online video series, Karyn gives a detailed description of where and how to initiate the movement for optimal effectiveness. Since this is a slower, more intentional practice, it is very important that you are free from distraction, focused and in a relatively quiet space. This is a learned feeling and typically takes around 5 classes to fully engage and recognize the muscle sensation
What equipment/clothing do I need?
Based on a minimalistic approach, you can do this class with nothing. However, it is helpful to have a mat, yoga block, and small yoga/pilates ball. The best clothing is loose and comfortable. The creation of these movements were done so you can do them anywhere, anytime!
What are the benefits of the Mindful Muscle Method?
This program is meant to create balance and stability in the muscular system. When that is achieved you have less risk of injury, better posture, greater overall strength for daily life. Other results of long term engagement in Mindful Movement may be better confidence, weight loss, improved sleep and overall wellness!
