Get off your feet and let the day soften.

In this five-minute restorative practice, we’ll use a couch and ordinary household cushions to support the back, arms, and elevated legs—creating a place where your body can settle without effort.

This is a lovely reset after a long shift, a demanding day of caring for others, or anytime you need a few quiet minutes to refill your own cup. Stay for five minutes, or linger longer if that’s what your body needs.

You’ll need:

• A couch or another sturdy elevated surface
• A few pillows or cushions
• An optional blanket for warmth

No special yoga props, experience, or flexibility required—just a willingness to put your feet up and let go.

Move slowly, listen to your body, and skip or adjust anything that doesn’t feel supportive today.
