Shifting From Exercise Obsessed to Mindful Movement with Tara Laferrara

Have you ever felt stressed out or anxious about movement? Feeling like you ‘should’ because of a guilty moment? If you answered yes to either of those then this is the episode for you. Tara Laferrara is here to remind us all that movement is something we get to do, not something we have to do. As she shares, movement should be for joy, releasing stress, the high from edorphins, and feeling strong in your body, not becuase you feel forced to.
