Here is the best strategy I’ve found to give your body the little “sips” of movement you need during a long practice session.
Arms Overhead Microbreak
- Put your arms overhead
- Breathe in through the nose as you reach your arms up as high overhead as possible
- Hold and reach for a few seconds
- Then breathe out and relax
Arms By Side Microbreak
- Start with your arms by your sides
- Breathe in through your nose
- As you breathe out…
- Rotate your thumbs back
- Extend the fingers
- Lift the chest
- Pull your head back, keeping your chin tucked
- Pause, then breathe out and relax.
