9 Physical and Mental Health Benefits of Meditative, Free-Form Dance Movement

There are many different styles, philosophies, and names for dance movement practices around the globe (i.e. Ecstatic Dance, Authentic Movement, etc.). What I facilitate, I like to call “meditative, free-form dance movement.” We all know exercise and meditation offer multiple health benefits. Essentially meditative, free-form dance movement practices are (cardio workouts + meditation + connecting to self/others/spirit = SO MANY WELLNESS BENEFITS) such as:

1.     Releases Stress

2.     Lifts Mood

3.     Decreases Anxiety

4.     Offers a Sense of Belonging and Decreases Loneliness

5.     Moves and Explores Emotions

6.     Builds Strength, Coordination, and Mobility

7.     Encourages Connection to Self, Others, and Spirit

8.     Calms and Regulates the Nervous System and Fear Response

9.     Increases Self-Awareness and Self-Worth
