Seated Stretches to do Every Night for Better Sleep | Improved Health 💖

These stretching and mindfulness exercises will improve sleep and promote positive thoughts as you get ready to go to bed. Stretching before bed relaxes the body and mind and is great for both physical and mental health. We'll finish with a 5 minute body scan mindfulness session by Jennifer Innes. Try this out every night for a week and see how you feel after the week.

Stretching is underrated and is one of the most beneficial things you can do for your body to prevent injuries and to remain flexible as you age.
