Gentle Awakening Stretches
Begin with 5-10 minutes of light stretching in bed or on a mat. Focus on loosening joints and welcoming the day slowly, without rushing.
Movement is not about performance — it is about feeling alive, connected, and present in your body throughout the day.

The goal is not to track metrics or push limits but to enjoy the simple act of moving your body in ways that feel comfortable and sustainable.
