An important theme here at MindfulTeachers.org is realistic self-care for educators and other helping professionals. One key aspect of self-care is to take a break in the midst of a busy workweek to breathe, stretch, and get some mindful movement.
This playlist is intended for those of you who:
- have limited mobility;
- would like to try some gentle stretches at your desk; or
- would benefit from using a chair as an extra-tall yoga block (which is something I frequently do myself).

I hope you found a couple of options here that work well in your particular circumstances. Remember that 'way leads on to way' on the internet. You'll likely see several other chair-based yoga and stretching videos on youtube whenever you try these routines.
