So many people tell me they wake up feeling stiff, tight, or “older than they should.”
But morning stiffness isn’t age. It’s physiology.
While you sleep, your body enters repair mode.
Breath becomes shallow, joints produce less fluid, and your fascia, the thin, web-like connective tissue that wraps everything, becomes a little sticky.
Anatomy teacher Gil Hedley calls this “the fuzz.”
It’s totally normal… but it makes your first steps feel creaky.
The good news?
Gentle movement and breath “melt the fuzz”, rehydrating the fascia, restoring glide, and telling your nervous system:
“It’s safe now. You can soften.”
Even a few mindful minutes a day help.
Even once a week makes a difference.
If your body is asking to soften and release,
Cocoon and Hatha this week are here for you.
