Passive Flow – Your Morning Reset

This Passive Flow routine is designed to meet you exactly where you are. No rushing, no pushing for extremes – just you, your breath, and gentle movements. Each step can be done at home or on the go, in around 30 minutes.

Here’s how to get started:

  • Watch: Follow along with the guided video. 

  • Prepare: Grab your mat and find a quiet, comfortable space. 

  • Breathe: Keep your breath steady and intentional. 

  • Flow: Move gently, stay present, and notice how your body feels.

2. Toe & Chin Mobilisation

  • From the fold, tuck your chin to your chest as you draw your toes toward your shins.

Why This Flow Works

  • Gentle Activation: Perfect for sluggish or sore mornings.

  • Breath-Led: Movement is guided by inhale/exhale, keeping you calm and centred.

  • Accessible Anywhere: No equipment needed beyond a mat.

  • Holistic Impact: Opens hips, lengthens spine, stretches quads, and creates spaciousness in both body and mind.

Tips & Guidance

  • As we exhale, we want to soften the body to find a new range.

  • Passive Flow can also be done pre-bedtime to help ready the body for snooze time.
