If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video reference is worth…I don’t know…a million?
I don’t have time to write the wellness version of War & Peace here, so let’s go with videos, shall we?
It’s often easier to see someone do a movement than understand a description, so use these as a reference and a guide, taking care to modify or skip according to your body’s needs!
FYI: you can filter your visible content by clicking the category associated with each video (stretching or breathing, for example). Also, if you scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the “older” button, it will take you to more videos! Woohoo!
Stand tall. Take a deep breath in through your nose as you reach your arms over head and exhale out through your nose as you bring your hand to your heart. Repeat at least five times each time setting a positive intention for the day.
For example, “Today is going to be a great day.”
Child's Pose helps to stretch the hips, thighs, and ankles while reducing stress and fatigue. Do it outdoors and get the added bonus of connecting with mother nature and soaking in all the beautiful colors and sounds.
Stay anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes.
