Rosalie is a mindfulness teacher, supervisor, teacher trainer and mentor based in the UK. In this episode, she shares her passion for mindful movement as a way of taking care of our precious bodies and supporting our relationship with those around us and our planet.

In this episode we talk about:

• How Rosalie discovered mediation and mindfulness in her early 20s.

• Discoveries made teaching English to Tibetan refugees that led to learning to teach. 
• Experience of training as a yoga teacher whilst doing a Masters in Teaching Mindfulness. 
• The difference between yoga and mindful movement.

• Body Facism - how we are living and breathing advertising messages that tell us how our body should look. 
• What mindful movement practices offer us that stiller meditation practices don’t. 
• Mindfulness as a way of living into our full vitality. 
• The interconnectedness of taking care of ourselves and the planet.
