Gentle Evening Stretches – A Short Routine to Release Physical Tension

This episode explores how a few minutes of gentle stretching before bed can help release the physical tension we unknowingly carry throughout the day. Stress, posture, and long hours at desks or screens often leave the body tight and restless, making it harder to relax and fall asleep.

Listeners are guided through a simple, mindful sequence — stretching upward, rolling shoulders, releasing the neck, gently twisting the spine, and finishing with deep breathing while lying still. Each slow movement acts as a signal to the body that the day is over and it’s safe to rest.

Beyond the physical benefits, the episode emphasizes the mental peace that comes from moving slowly and intentionally. Stretching becomes not just a physical exercise, but a nightly ritual of gratitude and self-awareness — a way to reconnect with the body and let go of the day’s weight.
