Stretching is an Really easy way that we can tap into our physical health anywhere we are at any time of day. Stretching can look like just reaching up and touching your toes. It can look like doing lunges in the middle of a work day. It can look like being intentional, pulling out your mat and spending time in pigeon pose or frog pose or lotus pose, whatever it is. You don't even have to know what those poses are. You just have to be intentional about stretching your body. Whenever people ask me what is the one thing that I can do to improve my mood or improve my health or improve my joy every single day, I always mention stretching because stretching is just accessible. That's one of the things that I love about it. It's easy to Do you don't need a lot? You don't need a mat. You don't need a bolster or a strap. You really don't need anything.
