2024 Podcast Recap and Intentions for the New Year

Happy All The Holidays! It’s almost the solstice and the end of the calendar year, so it felt like a natural time to pause and reflect. In this short episode, I recap some of my favorite podcast moments from the past year. A few themes really stood out across multiple conversations: the symbiotic relationship of mindful movement and meditation practices what it looks like to integrate (or de-compartmentalize) practices like yoga and sitting meditation the reasons we practice and how we’ve found mindful movement and meditation beneficial the accessibility of movement and meditation practice for diverse bodies and neurodivergent minds. I also pull back the curtain a bit to update you on some of my projects, including my work-in-progress book and new plans for the coming year. This includes some thoughts about how the elephant-in-the-room (aka political climate in the US) is shaping my intentions and what I want my work to look like going into 2025.  I don’t always adopt a “word of the year,” but right now, it feels like a little extra compass to navigate the unknown. So, listen and hear what I’ve chosen as my 2025 word – and let me know if you have one, too! And, thanks for listening to the podcast this year - I so appreciate knowing that there are others out there interested in these heartful, mindful, bodyful practices.  ----------------- For more links and resources mentioned in this episode, find the show notes at movedtomeditate.yoga/podcast.
