October 05, 2022 Ep. 21 - Ben J Munday - Movement with Awareness for Building Basic Trust
Meet Ben J Munday, my guest on this episode. Together we uncover the power of trust, its relation with the present moment, and the benefit of awareness practices that developed this skill.
His work as a coach focuses on supporting women and empowering them to become the leaders of the present and future, holding and recognising their past as resource to navigate through unknown territory.
Included in the episode:
👉 a feeling-sensing practice
👉 a meditation practice for awareness
👉 tips on how to come back to the present moment
Make sure to check out Ben's work at https://www.benjmunday.com
I love this conversation because Ben invites me to acknowledge that this podcast is about trusting the process as we navigate through change. Attuned to our trust we evolve as better leaders gracefully enduring the everyday challenges.

May 19, 2022 Ep.19 - Rita Terruta - Everyday Movement and the Future of Health
“We need to choose differently and be more aware and conscious about what we choose for our body which includes the training” - RT
Listen to this conversation with Rita Terruta. A personal trainer and coach with a fine tuned listening skill that makes the whole difference when working with her clients.
Rita combines many tools like play, awareness, mindfulness, observation, and her 10years of working in the field of sports and movement to create unique moments of movement exploration and movement knowledge for her clients ❤️
We explore:

And so much more. Rita has a passion for this work and it is shown in the way she expresses her thoughts.

July 09, 2021 Ep.16 - Anna and Derk - Movement and Choice
Without moving, we would become stagnant, and loose the ability to develop ourselves. It’s not just about moving in order to build strong muscles or have a six-pack, or looking like a picture-perfect post on social media. It’s really about moving and building other skills curiosity and awareness qualities.
People often mistake the goal to go to the gym and find small repetitive movement boring, because they are fixed on (very) long term goals. Instead of focusing on the journey to get there, through small steps, and the small discoveries that lead to chances of true personal growth.
This episode brings the continuation of the previous one - episode 15 - with another two colleagues from the Amsterdam based gym Wijs.

May 27, 2021Ep.15 - Gijs and Nadia - Move better to Feel better
This month I celebrate awareness. With this conversation my goal is to bring awareness to posture, and what habitual patterns are there. So if you look to change patterns of movement, start a new physical practice, or have an understanding of posture on a higher level, this is a great conversation to get you started.
For this episode I had a great conversation with Gijs, and Nadia. They both work as physiotherapists and movement specialists, at a local gym in Amsterdam. They attend to their clients through awareness on the quality of movement, using strength and mobility exercises, to improve posture and movement habits.
Gijs (the owner) and Nadia share their daily experiences at the gym as they guide clients through exercises that go beyond the fitness-oriented goals, creating instead long-lasting happiness through a balanced and strong body.

April 19, 2021 Ep.14 - Karunavira - Awareness is Revolutionary
Mindfulness-based approaches help improve our state of awareness, and constitute a pillar on self-care while improving communication with others.
Moving meditation is one of those approaches.
"Where intention goes, awareness goes. Where awareness goes, Qi follows”
In the 14th episode, I explore the state of awareness. My guest is experienced in this topic. With his range of practices, Karunavira has been teaching mindfulness-based approaches, at Bangor University, as also various mindfulness-Based programs, and counseling, for more than 30 years now.
In this conversation we explore what it means to be aware, and how to practice that quality of state by looking at our current practices, and use it for many things of life: communicating, parenting, leading, listening, or moving.
Kv (as know to his students) shares how his daily practices help him connect with the self, others, and nature, and cultivate the principles of Chi/Qi (energy) that lead to experience a more integrated and purposeful life.
In a month where I celebrate freedom, I question what practices help me experience and honor this purposed life.

This is the 14th episode of Movement is My Constant, and now you can also find it on YouTube! Go to Movement is My Constant on Youtube, and experience a different way of engaging in the topic, as you will meet me, and Karunavira on screen.
Keep listening. Keep moving.
