Part 2/7:
A successful stretch begins with being present. Taking a moment to check in with yourself in the mirror can create a mindful entry into your day. As you roll out your mat, stand tall and place your hands at your heart. Breathe deeply. Inhale to fill your lungs, and exhale to ground yourself. This initial moment of breath is essential to awaken the brain and body, fostering a sense of balance for the day ahead.
The Morning Stretch Sequence
Standing Forward Bend
As you progress into your practice, start by reaching your arms overhead with an inhale, then exhale as you bend your knees, allowing your body to relax forward. Moving into this forward fold helps release tension accumulated during the night.
