This week’s mindful moment is perfect for anyone who spends a lot of time sitting: gentle chair yoga. Start by sitting at the edge of your chair with your feet flat on the ground. Begin with a seated cat-cow stretch—inhale as you arch your back and open your chest, then exhale as you round your spine and tuck your chin.

Follow this with a seated twist, placing one hand on the opposite knee and gently twisting your torso to look over your shoulder. These simple movements can release tension, improve mobility, and reconnect you with your breath, all without leaving your chair!

Spend just five minutes with this practice, and see how it can bring calm and clarity to your day.
