How good does it feel to move! This video recaps on gentle mindful movement exercises focusing on areas of the body which get tight, stiff or forgotten about during periods of home working at desks and computers. There are also seated and standing grounding techniques, and some movement exercises for self-regulation and recovery from stressful moments. If you couldn't make the group session, or would like to recap on some of the techniques shared, this video is for you. 

​

10 minutes is all you need to do the sequence, and the exercises can be split up if one resonates with you more. If any of the exercises feel uncomfortable or painful, just leave them out and focus on the ones you enjoy and give you a yummy stretch or relaxing feeling.  

Take things slowly, and try and cultivate mindful awareness which, with practice, can filter into day to day habits promoting better self care and enhanced wellbeing.
