Day 13: Start Your Day With 10+ Minutes of Stretching

“With each inhale, lift your heart closer to the sun. With each exhale, root your heals more deeply in the ground.”

Mindful stretching… yes, it’s a thing 🙂

As we’ve mentioned already, mindfulness is about bringing awareness to the present moment. When you add mindfulness to a stretch, you bring your attention to your breathing. And what better way to start the day then with a de-stressing and mindful activity like stretching!
