Welcome to BodyandMindFlow

Here, you will find  information to help you find flow through integrating mind & body in your pursuits. Dr Sue Jackson has extensively researched the optimal psychological state known as 'flow' – a concept developed by psychology researcher, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi – since completing graduate degrees in sport and exercise psychology in the early 1990s. 

At BodyandMindFlow, you will find information and resources on: 

Flow resources

Drawing on the experiences of elite athletes and weekend warriors, Sue has described and assessed the flow experience in various performance domains. With co-author, Csikszentmihalyi, Sue has written Flow in Sports, where keys to experiencing flow in sport are identified. The book, and self-report scales that assess flow, are available at Flow Resources.

Yoga

There are many paths to flow, with sport or physical activity being one that is accessible to most people. A particular form of physical activity – hatha yoga – is well suited to facilitating flow experiences. Finding this link through her own participation, as well as her research into yoga, Sue trained as a yoga instructor in order to share with others this path to optimising awareness and experience. Sue holds weekly group classes and is also available for private lessons.
