Mindfully Move Your Way into Optimal Physical and Mental Health!We naturally want to believe that we are living consciously and engaging in practices that foster optimal health and well-being. However, challenges and stressors of real life can easily take us down a path into anxiety, negative moods, depression, isolation, cloudy thinking, emotional dysregulation, confusion, and myriad physical symptoms including pain. In the process, we often lose (or perhaps never had) the core healing element of somatic awareness. Yet, as research tells us, mindful movement has the power to foster lasting well-being. Join Dr. Carla and renowned somatic expert Dr. Martha Eddy, founder and director of the Dynamic Embodiment Somatic Movement Therapy Training program and author. Dr. Eddy, who has taught at many prestigious universities including Princeton, Columbia, Barnard, and NYU, brings a wealth of experience and research-back strategies that foster healing and overall well-being. Topics covered include mental health, anxiety, depression, somatic awareness, proprioception, conscious action, creativity, dance, yoga, self-awareness, self-regulation, self-expression, TBI (traumatic brain injury), stroke, brain fog, healing, social determinants of health, and the importance of support and community.
