Bodies are meant to move. They crave movement. They need movement. Bodies release feel good hormones when we move in ways that are beneficial, or when movement is fun, or when we move in such a way that we can reduce stiffness, soreness or tightness. Stretching, methodically, correctly and with mindfulness really does bring the body and the mind joy. Mix this with the social benefits of a group exercise class and you’re onto a winner.
