I've been dreaming up this video for months, and I finally made it! I have Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, and as a result, I have very specific movement/exercise needs. So, I created this video for anyone having a very low energy day; it features the types of movements I actually do most days! These small movements, help me feel more grounded as well as supporting my circulation and mobility. There is also a soft spoken ASMR voiceover, filled with calming instruction and gentle encouragement.
Remember, your body is GOOD, just as it is---even when it feels broken. :)
