Everyday Softening: Side Body Unwind
This is a gentle 20-minute lying down movement practice with a 2-minute introduction. You can practice from your bed or on the floor, morning or evening, perhaps with a pillow or blanket beneath your head. We'll begin by exploring breathing into the side body using our hands as somatic feedback. You’ll be met with invitational language and embodied cues to feel, sense, and soften into shapes lying on your side, and on your back, to create space in the side body. There’s no right or wrong here - encouraging you to explore, adapt, and be guided by what feels supportive for you today. I’m practicing along with you, so you may hear natural shifts in sound as I turn onto my side. I’d love to hear how your breath feels after this practice.

With heartfelt gratitude to Phil Kayumba for sparking and encouraging my ongoing exploration and creativity in movement practices, and in life.
