INTERACTIVE MINDFULNESS INITIATIVE

"How we move changes how we feel"

The mission of the Interactive Mindfulness Initiative (imi) is to develop, validate and scale non-profit programs that connect people through mindful freestyle movement - resulting in improved mental, physical and social health. 

Our observations during 15 years of offering classes and workshops in the Los Angeles area is that there is exceptional power and benefit in people developing a practice on the simple but important observation that “how we move changes how we feel”. These practices involve performing mindful awareness exercises during specific protocols of active movement and community interaction.

Our work centers around understanding the mechanisms for delivering these benefits, and making these practices accessible to the broadest possible audience with the goal of greater well-being and large-scale positive impact.
