After Sitting Practice

Here is a nice way to nourish your body after a bout of sitting (such as when spending time on the computer building your business).

  • Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet on the floor.
  • Hug one knee in and extend the other leg out long.
  • Enjoy the felt sense of one leg hugging in and the other extending out long for a couple of easy breaths.
  • Pause with both feet on the floor before repeating on the other side.
  • Take a few moments to notice how you feel before continuing with your day.
