Agile Aging posted a video "Resilience for Teachers - Mindful Movement Meditations with Valerie Baadh Garrett" on VIMEO

Resilience, the ability to bounce back from set-backs, to find inner strength and inspiration, and respond to situations rather than react, can be developed and strengthened through mindful practices. In this 52 minute program, movement specialist and somatic therapist Valerie Baadh Garrett leads nine simple, slow, and simply effective movement meditations. Each one, if practiced, can help anyone in a care giving profession, including teachers, build resilience. The program includes video of Jaimen McMillan, founder of Spacial Dynamics®, and his Avoiding Exhaustion practices, as well as other exercises for calm, courage, ability to let go, ability to live in your whole body in a healthy, balanced way, and ability to go forward. There is a brief presentation of the definitions of resilience, and of the qualities that enhance it.Cast: The Movement Academy ProjectTags: Spacial Dynamics, movement, meditation, Valerie Baadh, Valerie Baadh Garrett and resilience
