I often declare at home that I’m going for a ‘little wiggle and stretch’. What I mean by this is a short but succinct gentle flow that makes me feel like I’ve moved into every part of my body without depleting energy. So in this practice we will connect to our breath and our bodies and then mobilise into the spine, chest and shoulders, quad and hip flexors, groin, back of the body, front of the body and glutes (As I promised, moving and stretching the entire body!) before taking a short shavasana. It’s the perfect little everyday practice to keep the body, breath and mental well-being ticking over.
