Kait is a movement and meditation teacher and entrepreneur based in Portland, OR. Kait struggled with meditation until she found that by moving her body beforehand, she was able to turn her attention inward and calm, focus and center the mind for a meditation session. Realizing this powerful synergy, Kait founded the Move + Meditate Method and launched her digital wellness platform to help women connect with themselves in a deeper, more meaningful way through mindfulness and motion.   We Talk About: Anti-racism work How Kait got into the work she’s doing now: Movement + Meditation Going from seeking wellness and anxiety to slowing down and meditation work Misconceptions about meditation Transferring obsessive tendencies How to recognize when you place worthiness in something outside yourself Not everything is a perfectly linear story The importance of awareness What does intuitive movement look like?
