Today's tune-in is all about movement - but not the kind that requires special clothes or an hour-long commitment.
Let's talk about micro-movements that can shift your entire day:
- SHOULDER ROLLS: 5 slow, intentional circles backward. Feel the tension melt away from your neck and upper back.
- SPINAL WAVES: How They’re Done (Beginner Version)
1. Start position: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Initiate with the head: Gently tuck the chin, rolling vertebra by vertebra.
3. Thoracic roll: Continue the ripple through the upper back.
4. Lumbar roll: Let the wave travel down into the lower spine.
5. Reverse: Flow back upward, creating a continuous wave. 🌊
They can also be practiced against a wall, on all fours, or even seated, depending on your mobility level. No rules, just flow, like seaweed.
- ANKLE CIRCLES: Perfect for those of us who spend too much time at desks. Your circulation will thank you.
- GENTLE NECK STRETCHES: Ear to shoulder, hold for 30 seconds on each side. Breathe into the stretch.
The beauty is in the simplicity. Your body doesn't need a full workout to feel nourished - it just needs your attention and intention.
