Do you feel discomfort, pain or stiffness from sitting or being in one position for too long? We spend a lot of time using computers or handheld devices, driving or cooking with our hands and arms in front of us, and our heads bent forward in a slouched position. Being aware of our posture – and stretching to ease tight muscles – with yoga stretch can help restore balance. 

Exercise is any activity that uses your energy to move the large muscles in your body – even dancing to some some old time country songs.

Tai Chi is a mind-body exercise. Seated Tai Chi is accessible to most bodies, regardless of age or fitness level.

Have you ever woken up with a crook in your neck? Is poor posture or stress causing your head to pound? Before you take a pill, consider trying this four-minute acupressure practice for head and neck relief.

In mindfulness practice, we focus on something as an anchor, like physical sensations in the body or awareness of breath or sound.

Going to the gym every day, even when you’re not planning to exercise, is the best way to build a healthy habit that prepares you to improve your fitness. For other days, there's standing chair yoga.

Sun salutations are a beautiful way to “salute” the sun and show gratitude for the blessings it offers to our earth.

Physical activity, whether done sitting or standing, uses your energy to move the large muscles in your body. Different activities produce different benefits: increasing strength, flexibility, endurance or mobility. But the benefits aren't only physical. Movement can help energize us while also helping to reduce stress, too.

When our days feel overly busy or stressful it can be nice to slow down and find moments of stillness. There are many ways to do that throughout the day, even if just for a minute or two. Here are a few ideas.

Strengthening and protecting your lower back is one of the best things you can do for your body every day. Here's how the hip hinge can help.

Deep breathing in the moment can reduce and stabilize your heart rate. It can provide a focus point which allows you to feel more grounded and present. When we are grounded in the present moment, we are less likely to dwell on other thoughts.

Neck pain can interfere with many aspects of your daily life and disrupt activities you enjoy. Acupressure can help relieve neck pain.
