Go from tight and creaky to loose, moving easily and warmed up for the day. A simple mobility routine, eased in with breathwork, and closed out on some gratitude work.

Five minutes of breathing
Breath workA few minutes of breathing to loosen up and get into awareness before you start to stretch.
5 min activityBearmore’s thoughts on doing breath work before stretching
This works well because breath control can help you coordinate breathing with stretching for better flexibility.
Stretch out
StretchingMost of the tightness you are carrying probably came from hours at a desk and a screen, and it collects in the same few places: neck, shoulders, upper back, hips. Work through each of them slowly, holding long enough for the tension to let go rather than bouncing in and out. Never force a position; range builds over weeks, not in one session.
