Starting can feel like the hardest part of any day. This simple flow is designed to help you ease into movement—no pressure, just a calm and steady beginning.
1. Stand Tall & Breathe (1 minute)
Stand comfortably with your feet hip-width apart. Take a slow breath in through your nose, then gently exhale. Let your shoulders soften and your body settle.
2. Reach Up & Stretch (1 minute)
Inhale and raise your arms overhead. Reach upward, then gently lean to one side, then the other. Move slowly and stay within what feels good.
3. Forward Fold (1 minute)
Exhale and slowly fold forward, letting your arms hang. Keep a soft bend in your knees. Let your head relax and breathe easily.
4. Half Lift (1 minute)
Place your hands on your thighs or shins and lift your chest halfway up. Keep your back long and your neck relaxed. Pause for a breath, then release.
5. Slow Return to Standing (1 minute)
Roll up slowly to standing, one small movement at a time. Let your head come up last. Take one final deep breath.
That’s it—you’ve already started your day with intention. Keep it simple, and come back to this whenever you need a calm reset.
