Feel like your posture is “locked up” from sitting all day? Here are 4 fully supported positions you can hold for 1 minute each to help your body unwind (all you need is a small stack of books). 1️⃣ Chin support (prone) Stack under your chin and let the shoulders drop ☑︎ Gentle chin tuck ☑︎ No strain in the neck 2️⃣ Supported chest opener Stack under the upper back and breathe slow ☑︎ Let the ribs expand ☑︎ Relax the jaw 3️⃣ Supported bridge Stack under the sacrum and let the hips soften ☑︎ Light glute engagement ☑︎ Easy nasal breathing 4️⃣ Back chain activator Stack under the head and gently press back ☑︎ Lengthen through the spine ☑︎ Feel the back line wake up Start with 60 seconds each. If it feels good, stay longer… this is how you teach the nervous system “you’re safe.” Follow for a body that feels great every single day — Markus
