A Mindful Morning Stretch

Gently wake and warm up the body while still in your bed. Instead of jumping straight out of bed in the morning, take some time to stretch out the body and warm up the joints and muscles with this simple but effective practice. This practice can be helpful if you often wake up feeling stiff and achy and moving in this mindful way will allow you to start your day right.

Nice! Adding to my morning movement folder. As with my other short wake-up movement favorites, I found I wanted to pause and add a few movements, for example ankle and hip rotation, legs to ceiling and gentle twists between banana stretch and sitting, and a sitting twist before standing.

This experience was delightful and a wonderful way to start the day. Since my body often aches from old injuries, this was the perfect way to wake it up before getting out of bed. I even had some sound effects reminiscent of Rice Krispies—Snap, Crackle, and Pop! 😁

Thank you so much for this. I will most certainly do it again.

Ps. The sound effects came from my joints. 🙃

I have been doing this for several mornings now and it feels great. Thank you for creating something so perfect for my morning.
