Mindful Movement: Practical and Powerful
Hello! I’m Addie deHilster (she/her), Founder of Moved To Meditate. I am a Mindful Movement specialist, combining my in-depth experience with Buddhist Mindfulness Meditation and my lifelong love of movement – especially Yoga, Somatics, and Qigong.
I believe in de-compartmentalizing movement and meditation, so that so we can benefit from the best of both, and more easily translate their lessons into real life.
What does that mean? It means that my classes are equally about meditation and movement, and there isn’t a hierarchy between the two.
Personally, I practice to alleviate tension and tweaks in my body, to steady my anxious mind, to sleep well, and deepen my connections with others. All of that helps me to be less in my head, and more HERE.
Above all, I practice to understand what the heck this life thing is, and how to make good use of this time I have on the planet. Embodied meditation is the most direct way I know to look into those questions and give myself what I need to fully engage each day.
In Moved To Meditate classes, we’re not just trying to create perfect poses, and we’re not just working on ourselves cognitively. In a truly balanced mindful movement practice, we get to bring our whole selves to the process – body, heart, and mind. Because, when you want to make a shift in how you feel, you need to tend to all of these layers.
You’ll find practical, do-able movements here, within a more mindful, meaningful framework. Come as you are!
