Mindful Stretching Techniques

Here are some mindful stretching techniques you can incorporate into your daily routine:

1. Forward Fold: Stand with feet hip-width apart and slowly fold forward, letting your head and neck relax. Breathe deeply into the stretch.
2. Seated Twist: Sit on the floor with legs extended. Twist your torso to one side, placing the opposite elbow on the outside of the knee. Inhale to lengthen the spine and exhale to deepen the twist.
3. Child’s Pose: Kneel on the floor with knees wide apart and toes touching. Lower your hips back towards your heels and extend your arms forward, resting your forehead on the mat. Breathe deeply into your lower back.
