Your day doesn’t need to start with chaos. Start it with calm movement, clarity, and connection to your body instead.

This 7-move Morning Mobility Flow will wake up stiff muscles, release tension, and center your mind before you take on the day. Flow through each move for 30–60 seconds and repeat 2–3 rounds.

Morning Mobility Flow

Let’s walk through it together 👇🏽

🧘🏽‍♀️ The Morning Mobility Moves:

1. Child’s Pose to Cat-Cow Flow
👉 Start in child’s pose (knees wide, forehead down), then shift to hands and knees.
👉 Flow between arching your back (cow) and rounding your spine (cat) to mobilize your spine and relieve tension.

2. World’s Greatest Stretch
👉 Step one foot forward into a deep lunge, place opposite hand on the ground, and twist your torso toward the front knee, reaching the top arm to the sky.
✅ Opens hips, thoracic spine, and hamstrings.

3. Downward Dog to Cobra Flow
👉 Push back into Downward Dog (hips up, heels reaching toward floor).
👉 Then flow forward into Cobra (chest lifted, hips down, shoulders relaxed).
✅ Stretches spine, calves, hamstrings, and strengthens the back.

4. 90/90 Hip Stretch
👉 Sit with one leg in front bent at 90°, and the other behind you at 90°.
👉 Lean forward gently over the front shin.
✅ Loosens up deep hip muscles and improves mobility.

5. Seated Forward Fold with Deep Breathing
👉 Sit with legs extended, hinge forward at the hips and breathe deeply into your belly.
✅ Releases tight hamstrings and calms the nervous system.

6. Neck Rolls + Shoulder Circles
👉 Slowly roll your neck in gentle circles; follow with large, slow shoulder circles.
✅ Relieves neck and shoulder tension—especially helpful if you sleep tight or sit a lot.

7. Standing Side Stretch + Spinal Twist
👉 Stand tall, reach one arm overhead and lean to the side.
👉 Then twist gently from the waist, arms open wide.
✅ Lengthens side body and improves spinal mobility.

🧠 Tip: Inhale through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth the whole time—this helps reset your nervous system and sets a peaceful tone for your day.
