MIndful Moves that Make a Difference
I appreciate this audiobook when paired with my regular biweekly therapy sessions. The somatic exercises are gentle and straightforward, and have reduced my stress and improved mindfulness. I loved how the clear instructions and real photos made it easy to follow along, even on busy days. After just a week, I started feeling less tense and more connected to my body, which has been a fantastic complement to my therapy work. The added tips on posture and nutrition were a bonus that made the experience feel truly holistic. If you're looking for a practical way to feel better in both body and mind, this is definitely worth a listen!

Author uses her own personal experiences.
The techniques in this book are excellent. Too many times I have rushed to get in shape and wound up doing it too hard or too quickly. This caused further injury and pain. Following what this book says gently works over time. It is an excellent book.

Feeling better already!
I got this book about 5 days ago, and I already feel better. I have had chronic pain in a muscle in my hip for about 4 months now, I have no idea why or how I pulled it but it has just progressively gotten worse. So, I thought I'd give somatic exercises a try since my phone kept slipping me ads about this newer form of exercise :). I do sit at desk all day, perhaps that has contributed to the pain, but the exercises laid out in this book have definitely helped. They are gentle enough for me feel confident that I'm not going to make the injury worse, and the instructions are very clear. I also thought the narration was pleasant and easy to listen to. Overall, I recommend this book for those of all ages.

A gentle guide!
I recently listened to this book and found it to be very comforting. It has exercises and movements that are gentle and help to relieve stress. I liked that it talked about the mental aspects instead of just going through the motions. If you're looking for a new way to deal with stress, this is a great choice. It's simple and it works. I highly recommend it.
