Post-Workout Body Scan

Before you start

• Lie on your back with your arms slightly away from the body and your legs relaxed.
• Take three slow breaths, exhaling a little longer than you inhale.
• Decide to simply observe your body. There is nothing to fix.

During the session

1. Bring attention to your feet, then slowly move up through calves, thighs, hips and lower back.
2. Continue through the abdomen, chest, hands, arms, shoulders, neck and face.
3. At each area, notice warmth, heaviness or tension, and soften it on the exhale.
4. When the mind wanders, come back to the area you were scanning.

AfterWiggle fingers and toes, stretch gently and drink some water before moving on.
