kinesthetic
Aware through motion
Kinesthetic relates to the sensation of body position and movement—the awareness of where your limbs are and how they're moving through space.
A kinesthetic learner grasps concepts better through physical activity than through reading or listening: She's a kinesthetic learner who needs to walk through the steps herself.
Athletes develop keen kinesthetic sense; dancers rely on it to know their bodies in motion without looking.
