Hello friends!
Even though it might seem like a minor detail, moving your body is actually an important part of our decluttering process. By stretching or doing yoga we allow our body to detoxify and get the juices flowing. For today's session I chose yoga because of its numerous health benefits for body and mind, but you could also do some gentle pilates exercises or simple stretching instead.
Besides all-around fitness and stable energy levels, practising yoga on a regular basis will lead to an overall calmer, happier and more harmonious way of living. Instead of getting rid of physical or mental clutter today we clear any energy blocks and let go of any tension in our bodies!

Working Steps
There are no exact working steps today. All you need is some sort of a mat (or even your bed), your body, and 30 minutes of your time. Either do freestyle stretching, or use a YouTube video as guide. Here are some suggestions:
Yoga For a Rainy Day (25 min)
Movement Medicine Energy Practice (17 min)
Love Yoga Flow (35 min)
Gentle Morning Sequence (20 min)
Yoga for Bedtime (20 min)

Or this longer Yoga Camp - I Release sequence that perfectly matches the topic of our 31 Day Challenge (45 min)
Put on some comfy clothes, and move your body!

If possible, take the rest of your day off. Rest, put your feet up, drink a pumpkin spiced latte, watch some Netflix, read an inspiring book or magazine, go for a walk in a nearby park and feed the ducks, or whatever your heart desires... See you tomorrow – this time in the kitchen ;)
