Quick Body Scan | Head To Toe

A short, steady body scan that moves from head to toe in just over three minutes. Sitting or lying down, you’ll soften your forehead and jaw, let your shoulders drop away from your ears, uncurl your fingers, and ease through your chest, stomach, hips, thighs, knees, calves, and toes. Your breath moves gently through it all without effort, and by the end you can notice your whole body resting, heavier than when you began. Brisk but calm, this breath-and-body-awareness practice works well after a long day, before bed, or any time you want to release tension quickly. Carry the looseness with you.
