For more than 30 years Doreen Rivera has been developing and refining The Bodyful Mind ProcessTM, a technique that addresses the proper application of movement, as well as the spiritual and emotional needs of the bodymind, which is the intelligence of the body. This process has been designed as an integrative tool for the exploration of the body/mind/spirit - the trinity of Self. The purpose of The Bodyful Mind ProcessTM is to build a deeper relationship to the constant communications that our body provides in the forms of thoughts, feelings, and sensations. These sensations are and have been continuously recorded in the cells of our bodies, from the moment of conception to the present. All of these recordings are active through the physical and emotional movements that occur in daily life. This fact is what we consciously acknowledge, recognize and explore in the process of The Bodyful MindTM. 

The Bodyful Mind ProcessTM movement class is the basis for this process of discovery and integration. The class transcends the definition of what we’ve come to know as an exercise class by incorporating within each movement the physical, emotional and spiritual relationship that is The Bodyful MindTM. 

It is in class, during the exercises, that your awareness is turned inward. The intent of class is to provide opportunity  for discovering and creating a deeper relationship to your inner world. In the class, guided by highly trained staff and using a journal, you are encouraged to note every thought, every feeling, everything you hear in your head as you do a movement. Rather than dismiss the feelings or try to quiet your mind, write all of it down, just exactly as it came to you, especially the thoughts and feelings you want to dismiss, for these are the most fruitful. Within the experiences you want to deny or turn away from, are where the greatest discoveries occur and multifaceted opportunities for change become illuminated. This is how The Bodyful Mind ProcessTM transcends the definition of your average exercise class. The Bodyful Mind ProcessTM assists each individual to move into the body to realize, understand and uncover what the body knows.  The focus in class is what you feel, what you think, what you hear in your mind as you do each movement. Being able to perceive yourself from within, without the trained interpretation of the mind, is what allows you to move beyond the limits of who you think you are and what you think is possible. This process fosters the development of emotional intelligence, which expands your self-identification and opens up a greater realm of possibilities for living your life.
