body awareness
Knowing your position
Body awareness is the sense of where your body is in space and how it's positioned or moving.
It encompasses feeling your limbs without looking at them, noticing tension in your muscles, and perceiving internal states like hunger or fatigue.
Athletes develop acute body awareness; yoga and dance cultivate it deliberately.
Her body awareness improved after months of physical therapy.
