• Identifying common psychological and physical barriers to movement
• Concepts such as interoception (awareness of internal body states) and allostasis (predictive regulation of physical needs)
• How mental health symptoms may influence physical experience and perception
• Techniques to increase awareness of body signals in a supportive and structured environment
