Many mental health clinicians–even those well acquainted with mindfulness–still view physical, body-oriented techniques as outside their scope of practice. In this accessible book, clinical psychologist, exercise physiologist, and yoga and mindfulness teacher Paul Salmon gives therapists of any orientation the tools to use mindful movement with clients. Salmon shows how simple practices like breathing, walking, and yoga-like stretches can help clients center their attention in the present moment with curiosity and self-acceptance. He summarizes research on the benefits of movement for specific mental and physical health conditions and provides vivid case examples and scripts. Purchasers get access to a companion website where they can download audio recordings of 29 guided practices.

J. Walker –
I am not a mental health professional, but this delightful book is valuable for anyone who is interested in expanding their awareness of the body through movement. Dr. Salmon has a gift for inviting you into the enchantment that can be found in even the simplest of motions, including stillness. He clearly has a passion for his work, and that is readily transmitted to the reader—you return to the enthusiasm of childhood as you notice the infinity of things to be found when you simply pay attention to the body in the present moment. This book is especially valuable for anyone who is interested in teaching mindfulness of movement—whether it be in a mindfulness class or any of the movement practices such as tai chi or yoga. And if you are in healthcare, there are a host of ideas about getting patients more motivated to engage in exercise. Finally, I would imagine that for a mental health professional schooled in talk therapy, this book will open up a tesseract of options to bring to the therapeutic realm.
