Stiff shoulders?

  • Jun 27

Shoulder circles are a great move to waken up those stiff shoulders. Whether you’re drawing the circle with a straight arm or leading with your elbow, this one’s all about waking up your shoulders and getting that joint moving how it’s meant to.


Try it slowly, reach your arm forward, up, round and back, like you're drawing a big circle in the air. Or pop your hand on your shoulder and let your elbow do the work. It doesn’t have to be huge just smooth and controlled.


💡 Why it's worth it:


✔️ Loosens tight shoulders

✔️ Builds strength and control in the joint

✔️ Helps with posture and everyday movement

✔️ Great for anyone who sits, slouches or scrolls a lot

✔️ Keeps the joint healthy and mobile for the long run


Your shoulders are meant to move in all directions, but we tend to get stuck in the same few. These circles are a gentle reminder to move more, and move differently.

Move your body, sharpen your mind 🧠

Exercise doesn’t just benefit your muscles, it helps your brain function better too. Studies show that regular movement increases blood flow to the brain, improving focus, memory and even creativity.


Just 20 minutes of movement, like Pilates, walking or mobility work, can boost mental clarity and reduce stress. It also supports better sleep, hormone balance and emotional wellbeing.


So if you’re feeling foggy or flat, don’t reach for another coffee, roll out your mat or go for a walk around the block, and give your brain a fresh burst of energy.

🤗 Give yourself a hug!!

Standing body hugs are more than just a feel-good movement. They gently open and close the upper body, creating space between the shoulder blades, encouraging spinal mobility and helping to release tension in the chest, shoulders and upper back.


Start standing tall. As you stretch your arms wide, inhale to expand the chest. Then exhale as you wrap your arms around yourself in a hug, alternating which arm goes on top each time. It’s a simple movement but surprisingly effective.


💡 Why it’s worth doing:


✔️ Mobilises the spine and shoulders

✔️ Releases tension in the upper back and chest

✔️ Encourages healthy posture (great for desk days!)

✔️ Supports circulation and breath

✔️ Gives a lovely little emotional reset 💛


This one’s a great reminder that movement doesn’t need to be complicated. A few slow body hugs can help you reconnect with yourself, loosen up stiff muscles and even lift your mood.


Plus… who doesn’t need a hug now and then?
