Getting up and down from the floor is SO important 👈

Many of us spend much of our day moving from one seat to the next. Over time, this can create tightness in the hips and stiffness through the spine.

When you’re relaxing at home on the couch, have you ever noticed your posture? Often the back rounds as we melt into the sofa.

Instead, try getting down onto the floor.

When you’re home watching TV, take a few moments to sit on the floor instead. If you spend much of your day sitting in a chair or on the couch, this simple shift offers an opportunity to gently stretch the outer hips, knees, and thighs. Sitting more upright on the floor also helps engage and strengthen the muscles that support your spine.

You don’t need to sit for long—a few mindful minutes is enough to create a different relationship with your body.

Practice Corner
🧘 Sit on a couple of blankets or a bolster on the floor with your pelvis upright against the couch. Press your hands into the floor beside your hips to help lift the chest and support the spine.
⭐️ Periodically lift your arms overhead to invite more length and lift through the torso.
🪷Want to take it further? Sit against a wall and place a yoga block at the middle of your upper back. You’ll feel a wonderful sense of lift and support through the chest and spine.

Small, accessible practices like this add up—especially when done consistently.

“Do not think of yourself as a small, compressed, suffering thing. Think of yourself as graceful and expanding, no matter how unlikely it may seem at the time.”

Rest isn’t passive. It’s how the body shifts from stress into repair. Supported Setu Bandha Sarvangasana gently opens the chest while the back and nervous system feel fully held.
This is the essence of Relax + Restore on January 22.
