At The Movement Method, we believe in aligning your movement practices with the natural flow of the season. Fall brings in the perfect opportunity to be intuitive, intentional, and forward in your approach to wellness. The cooler air and shorter days encourage us to find a balance between indoor routines that ground and strengthen, outdoor activities that energize and inspire, and mindful walks that promote connection to the world around us. It’s important to focus on functional movement that supports you to stay in tune with your body while also being present in the moment. This season, acknowledge how valuable an intentional movement routine can be for your mindset as well as your body. Whether indoors, outdoors, or out in nature, creating space for well-being that aligns with fall’s smooth momentum is at the top of the priority list.
INDOOR
In this season, The Movement Method encourages you to find intuitive movement that feels intentional, both in the method itself and the space you're doing it in. Your environment should set the tone with things like warm lighting or clean scents. It should be a training practice or atmosphere that feels aligned for both your body and your mind. When you feel good in your space you will also perform well. Your movement should tap into your breath and your strength to engage your entire nervous system. Avoid anything visually chaotic, or practices that leave you feel restricted or physically tight the day after. The key is to create expansion within your environment, strengthening yourself through practices that provide both physical and emotional well-being.
OUTDOOR
Fall is the perfect time to embrace outdoor movement while the weather is still beautifully balanced—cool enough to avoid overheating, but not so cold that it keeps you indoors. It can make a sport you picked up in the summer feel more refreshing and enjoyable. It's also an ideal time to experiment with something new that you might want to commit to long term, using this transitional period to discover what energizes and inspires you. Whether it's hiking, running, horseback riding, or taking your regular workout outside, take advantage of the weather and allow it to support your wellness goals before winter arrives.
MINDFULLNESS
When in doubt, just get out and go for a walk while the weather is still nice. Whether it’s a quick lap around the block or a more intentional walk through the park, being outside will always help you feel better. Fall is the perfect opportunity to move your body, clear your mind, and enjoy the fresh air before the busyness of the holidays get here. Walking is one of the easiest ways to reconnect with yourself, someone on your "team," or nature alone. Take advantage of it while you still can.
