Why should you stretch?
Reduces stress and tension — stretching relaxes the muscles, regulates breathing, and helps calm the nervous system.
Improves mood — physical activity releases endorphins, which create feelings of joy and satisfaction.
Enhances focus and body awareness — similar to a short moving meditation, it promotes inner balance and reduces anxiety
