Nat is in love with 10 minute stretching

In July I started working with a new team. Some of them get together online twice a day to stretch. I was delighted to be asked to join.

Teresa or Amanda will share the video, we turn off mics and cameras and follow along.

We’ve stretched watching sunflowers and tides. We’ve followed along with young people and older people.

Some are yoga flows. Others geared to people with osteoporosis. even more are targeted to seniors like this one https://youtu.be/npNod6rVZrs?si=pbhkQN4VorvcHZ65

Sometimes it’s a standing routine or on the floor. We also do chair stretches.

Sometimes I’m in the office and sneak to the mediation room. Other times I stay at my desk on the floor. I don’t care what people think.

I keep learning new variations of movements. It’s a great way to connect with people and support our wellbeing.

One of our favourite instructors provides chair stretches next to a pool. He talks about mature bodies and being kind to ourselves. It’s marvelous.

I’m loving the moments to connect with Amanda, Fulya and Teresa. We’ve all taken our stretching habits out into the wild with our friends and family.

So go, search and find the time duration and flavour you like on YouTube or your platform of choice. It really does make a difference.
