Stretch/Yoga

Paying attention to our body’s physical sensations is one way to come into the present moment, metabolize stress and strengthen the mind body connection.

(Before participating in any exercise program that may be described you should consult with a physician or other healthcare provider.)

Instructions:

Here are a few poses to do.  They can be done in any order.  Just remember:

• Breathe in the poses. Gently notice how and where you feel the breath.  In each pose, take 4 or 5 complete breaths in and out.
• Move slowly in and out of the poses so as to pay attention to the movements and sensations in your body.
• Always work within the range of your limits and abilities in the present moment, understanding this will shift from day-to-day and even hour-by-hour
