Morning Calm: Movement & Meditation

One of the clearest and most direct ways to practice gratitude is to pay attention to the sensory experience of your body—to notice and honor the subtle sensations of simply being alive and in relationship with the world around you.

This staple of yoga movement practices was designed to bring us into our bodies and into a state of gratitude. Our version today is one that’s accessible anywhere you can find a comfortable seat, so it’s perfect for inserting a dose of gratitude and soothing movement into any part of your day.

7-Minute Reset: Slow Down
