Hey there, good morning.

Welcome to Wake Me Up and to this Wake Up and Stretch episode,

where we'll get out of bed and prepare the mind and body for a great day.

and some of the mental aspects of it as well.

But even if you're not a desk worker,

this episode will be helpful.

I recommend you start this episode in bed, but if you're already up and about, don't worry.

Hold at the top and exhale just let it all go.

Now let's do a couple of really easy gentle stretches while we're here too.
