Take FIVE FOR ME

Day 3: Spend 5 minutes stretching or doing gentle yoga poses   I'd be happy to guide you through some gentle stretches or yoga poses that you can do in just 5 minutes.

After the fifth breath, sit quietly for a few moments and notice how you feel. Remember to take your time with each breath and try to focus your attention on the sensation of your breath moving in and out of your body.
