Principles
Align Movement with Natural Rhythms
Your body responds differently at various points in the day. Matching movement intensity to these shifts can make routines feel more natural.
Afternoon: Mobilize
Break up prolonged sitting with standing and hip-focused actions.
Evening: Release
Longer holds and slower stretches to signal the end of the workday.
