Early Summer Movement — Play, Creativity & Upper Body Flow

Description:

In this Early Summer episode, Stefanie (your seasonal architect) invites you to hit pause on the usual workout grind and reconnect with movement that feels expressive, creative, and fun. This month is all about play, connection, and fluidity—think languid upper body stretches, creative hobbies turned into motion, hand-eye coordination, and even a little Filipino stick fighting (yes, really).

Explore ideas like:

- Movement inspired by play: drums, animal flow, acro yoga, or dancing in your kitchen

- Stretching and mobility focused on shoulders, arms, wrists, and fingers

- Breathing techniques like box or triangle breathing to reset mid-moment

- Hand taps, non-dominant throwing drills, and upper-body sways for brain-body connection

You don’t need to do everything - just try one thing that brings you joy and makes you feel more like yourself.

🎯 Reminder: this isn’t about doing more - it’s about choosing what to keep, what to shift, and how to meet yourself right where you are.

Let’s move, play, and reset for Early Summer. ✨
