There is a saying that goes like this:
If you don’t pick a day to rest your body will pick one for you.
Summer is supposed to be a time to relax and rejuvenate. However, when I look around me that elusive thing called rest seems a bit out of reach. Frankly, I’m seeing most of the people in my life dealing with some pretty significant stressors and missing out on some much-needed R&R.
I’m horrible at relaxing but what I have found is I can take this idea of rest and relaxation and apply it to my movement practice. That’s the beauty of having a personal practice, you have the control to dial the intensity up or down as you need it.
This month I wanted to share some tools to integrate into your practice to relax your joints and muscles and recalibrate your nervous system.
I encourage you to try 5-10 minutes of daily constrictive rest or commit to doing the Daily 10 videos a few times per week for some gentle mobilizing self-care.
My goal in offering these tools is not to be some wellness guru. I’m far from that. It is to give you a few ideas and a whole lot of support to make the best choices for your body to help keep you strong, rested, and balanced.
