preferably before bed bc it helps me sleep sooooo much better and is a physical emotional release to end my day
★ back (seal stretch, downward dog, cat/cow)
★ shoulders (praying hands behind back, arm circles and whatever other movements i can think of)
★ hips (open/close gate, pigeon pose, butterfly, happy baby)
even better if…

/there’s incense burning (rn i’ve been using nippon kodo ka-fuh lotus)
/i smell of lush sleepy body lotion (iykyk!!)

Even just for 3 min! I instantly feel sleepy and less tense. Heres my routine:
- reach arms all the way up, fingers together and turn inside out to stretch arms
- reach down to touch toes and dangle there awhile
- in this pose, bend each knee in turn to stretch hamstrings
- stand again and hold foot up behind back and balance a little while. Repeat with other leg
- lie down in bed with knees bent and together leaning to one side do spine twist stretch
- done!

I've been integrating stretching into my daily routine for a while... It's the first thing I do when I wake up, the last thing I do before going to sleep, and I usually stretch once or twice throughout the day because of how stiff I become bending over at my desk shrimp-style working from home. Sore AWAY!!!

my intestines!!
You don't even need a proper ritual. Or follow any steps.
Just movement and feel that ache being pulled as you stretch :-)
