Seasonal Side Stretch

🌟 Reaching for decorations, wrapping gifts or reaching into the kitchen cupboards can leave your sides tight. Side stretches open the ribs, improve breathing and leave you feeling lighter.

Tip: Lift arms overhead, side bend slowly and breathe into the stretch. Let the fingertips reach further with each exhale. Don't forget to stretch both sides.

💡 Tip: Add a slow twist at the top of each stretch for extra rotation and feel-good release.

Is it just me who feels taller and lighter after this stretch?

Balance Boost

⚖️ Balance isn’t just physical, it steadies your mind too! At this time of year life can get so busy so taking a few minutes out of your day to focus on your balance can really help. Standing on one leg, eyes focused, improves stability and concentration.

Try this balance challenge today, slow and controlled. Feel the muscles in your legs, core and even arms engage as you stay centred.

💡 Tip: Close your eyes for an extra challenge, imagining stability flowing from your feet to the crown of your head.

Balance Boost

Joyful Roll Down

🎄 Roll through your spine to relieve stiffness, improve circulation and reconnect with your body. A small, mindful movement can make a big difference after busy mornings.

Start standing, slowly roll down through each vertebra, letting your head, neck, and shoulders follow naturally. Then roll back up with control. Notice if you get a little bit more movement through the spine with each repetition.

💡 Tip: Exhale as you roll down, inhale at the bottom, exhale to lift back up. Feel each vertebra moving and your spine waking up.
