Metta In Motion offers a gentle, embodied way to pause, turn inward, and intentionally send lovingkindness to our own bodies. This 90-minute workshop invites us to cultivate care, presence, and connection through movement, breath, and mindfulness—an opportunity to focus on love and lovingkindness for ourselves and others.

We will bring the practice of metta—an ancient Pali word meaning love or lovingkindness—into motion. Traditionally, metta is a meditation practice offering phrases of goodwill, such as “may I be healthy, may you be happy,” to ourselves, others, and the wider world, including plants, animals, and ecosystems. In this workshop, we will infuse each breath, asana (body posture), somatic dance prompt, and mudra with these intentions, consciously sending well wishes to and from our bodies. This practice can be especially nurturing when we experience tension, discomfort, stress, or disconnection in the body.

Throughout the workshop, we will move with gentle, accessible yoga postures in dance form—alternating fluid movement and stillness—while exploring mindfulness prompts, guided meditation practices, and simple mantra and mudra applications. Movement becomes a vehicle for offering care, noticing sensation, and deepening our awareness of the body’s wisdom. The focus is on cultivating tenderness, self-compassion, and the union of mind and body through embodied lovingkindness.
