Lesson Overview

12.35 – Practicing Evening Stretching or Light Movement (continued): Gentle stretching before bed signals to your body that tension can release. Focus on slow, mindful movements—neck rolls, shoulder shrugs, or forward bends—to loosen muscles tightened from daily stress. Avoid intense workouts that raise adrenaline and heart rate. Instead, use light yoga, tai chi, or guided mobility exercises that emphasize deep breathing. As muscles lengthen, circulation improves and your nervous system shifts into a calmer state. Pair movement with dim lighting and soft music for sensory relaxation. These subtle routines help restless energy leave your body rather than follow you into bed. With practice, stretching becomes an evening ritual of letting go—physically and emotionally. Your joints feel freer, thoughts quiet faster, and sleep arrives more naturally. Movement done mindfully proves that stillness doesn’t begin in the mind—it starts in a relaxed, supported body ready for true rest and renewal.
