Daily Stretches That Your Body Deserves

You don’t have to be a yoga person to stretch. You just have to be… alive.
If you sit a lot, stand a lot, walk in shoes, or look at a screen (so… everyone), daily stretching can help you feel more like a person and less like a pretzel.

And the best part? These stretches take less than five minutes, require zero equipment, and can make you feel better almost immediately.

Quick Tip: Start with Neck Rolls + Shoulder Shrugs

Screen time = tight neck. Life = tense shoulders. A 30-second neck roll and a few shoulder shrugs can help you reset and breathe easier.
