A few years back Thich Nhat Hanh began to develop gentle exercises based on Yoga and Tai Chi movements. Initially designed as mindful stretching breaks between long periods of sitting meditation, Mindful Movements became a popular tool to complement to sitting meditation extending Thich Nhat Hanh's trademark gentle approach to Buddhist teachings into a series of physical movements. These movements enjoy a growing popularity amongst his students and have become integral part of his retreats. These simple and effective practices are meant to reduce stress and tension to help the practitioner gain the serenity he needs to return to a state of mindfulness. When done as part of a full mediation practice, theses movements can address mental, emotional, and physical stress. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOffered to the general public for the first time, the \u003ci\u003eMindful Movements\u003c\/i\u003e have been lovingly illustrated by one of Thich Nhat Hanh's long-time practitioner, Wietske Vriezen.
