Gentle Evening Stretch

This slow, simple stretch helps your body release the day without effort or strain.

It’s meant to prepare you for rest, not to accomplish anything.

How to practice:

  • Begin seated or standing in a comfortable position.

  • Gently roll your shoulders and neck, moving slowly.

  • Stretch your arms overhead, then release them down.

  • Pause often and breathe naturally.

Stop before any stretch feels intense.

Even a few moments can make a difference.
