Calming our Minds and Bodies: Yoga, Stretching and Breathing Exercises

Relaxing music and stretching exercises benefit our minds and bodies by acting as a release for any stress or anxiety that we may be feeling. Stretching gets our blood flowing, helps loosen our muscles, and improves our flexibility, reducing our chance of injuries. Calming music can help ease our minds so that we can better cope with tension and stress. Combining music with stretching is the perfect way to keep our minds and bodies calm and functioning well.

Turn on calming music. Stretch your body in different ways and hold the stretch. Stretch up to the sky. Reach to your toes. Make yourself as wide as possible. Make yourself as small as possible. Twist one way and then the other. Try out your favourite stretches. Do this for 10 minutes or longer.
