This week’s mindful moment focuses on balance practice, a simple yet powerful way to cultivate mindfulness. Begin by standing on one foot, using a wall or chair for support if needed.

Hold the pose for as long as you can before switching legs.
This exercise strengthens your body, sharpens your focus, and offers a fun way to stay mindful throughout your day.
Spend just five minutes with this practice, and see how it can bring calm and clarity to your day.

This week’s mindful moment is perfect for anyone who spends a lot of time sitting: gentle chair yoga. Start by sitting at the edge of your chair with your feet flat on the ground. Begin with a seated cat-cow stretch—inhale as you arch your back and open your chest, then exhale as you round your spine and tuck your chin.
Follow this with a seated twist, placing one hand on the opposite knee and gently twisting your torso to look over your shoulder. These simple movements can release tension, improve mobility, and reconnect you with your breath, all without leaving your chair!
Spend just five minutes with this practice, and see how it can bring calm and clarity to your day.
