For those of us with sedentary or standing in one position jobs, these specially designed seated stretches - can be an excellent way to stretch and release tension in neck, shoulders, and back. Taking just 5-10 minutes at a time, once or twice during your work day, can help with stiffness and alignment issues, as well as with an overall sense of improved wellbeing.

Join me today as I demonstrate some yoga poses usually done on the floor with the added benefit of a chair to isolate and bring more awareness to the cause of tension you may feel.

Our daily routines and physical activities can leave our feet and ankles in need of some focused attention. Summertime sports such as beach volleyball, stand up paddle boarding and rock climbing can be especially taxing on our lower limbs. Left unchecked, the tension from overuse can spread to other areas of our body.

Join me as I demonstrate some active foot and ankle stretches that you may not have seen before. They are effective, intuitive and encourage awareness. ⁠

After a long week of work, we may find that our hands and wrists are in need of some attention. At first, you may not even realize that these areas are tight from overuse, but with some routine care, you will start to recognize the signs of tension early, before it spreads to other parts of your body.

Today, I'm sharing part 2 of of a stretching routine that helps to counter the effects of a sitting posture.⁠
