Mind - Body - Spirit
Overview

If you spend a lot of time sitting throughout the day, this routine is really for you. Hunching over a steering wheel or a computer keyboard can cause muscles and connective tissues to shorten, causing discomfort in your back. This routine can help unlock the tightness, almost like a natural massage.

Learn these moves, and you'll be able to flow smoothly from one to the next, creating a soothing sort of dance. Pay attention to your body as you hold the different poses. Maybe you'll notice a particular area - your shoulders, your back or even your jaw feels tense or tight. You can learn a lot about your body by observing these subtle imbalances.

When you relax, you elongate your muscles, which can make you look up to five pounds thinner and an inch taller in just a few minutes! As you eliminate tension, your shoulders will relax and your back will lengthen. You'll carry yourself with more poise and grace. Best of all, you'll feel like a new person.

Do one or two of these moves anytime you want to calm your nerves, sooth your spirit or work out the kinks. Or, if you want to feel totally revitalized, do all the moves from start to finish. It will be five minutes well spent!
