Move kindly is a beginner-friendly movement class for joint, muscle and brain health. We use small, precise actions to wake up proprioception your body’s built-in sense of position, so you'd feel steadier, softer, and more at home in your body.
There’s no pressure, no performance here. You’ll get clear, simple steps and options for every body. We explore somatic puzzles gentle movement challenges that invite curiosity instead of strain, so your joints get nourished and your brain refreshes its body-map. Think of it as a tune-up: easy ranges, smooth circles, light coordination, and restful resets.
Why it matters: joints are fed by movement; the nervous system thrives on varied, low-stress input; consistent gentle practice can reduce stiffness, improve balance, and calm your stress response. This class gives you a practical way to keep that system humming, no fancy gear, no flexibility required.
Warning: moving is addictive 🙂
