A Shout Out to See My Art, Inc. (SMART) Board member Sarah Boles and her volunteer assistants Anita, Kasse and Lisa for facilitating a series of Mindful Movement sessions created for the enthusiastic participants from Ventures Unlimited in Hayward.

Following Sarah’s lead, the group followed along to a Brain Dance Hokey Pokey followed by balancing bean bags to the Bean Bag Boogie. Continuing the activity they also danced to “We are The Champions” and “Better

When I’m Dancin”.

Additional sessions will be held at the Cable Community Center for the Ventures clients throughout the month. Subsequent sessions will be dance focused with the final being a sing along.

Mindful movement focuses on the sensations, movements and breath associated with the body in motion. By cultivating this state of mindfulness (conscious awareness), participants become fully present in the activity, enhancing mind-body connection and promoting a sense of calm, clarity, and well-being.
