✨ When the Body Works With You. Session Reflection: The Haitian Stretch

You might not have words for it — but you felt it. Your shoulders dropped. Your breath softened. Something finally let go. That’s what happens when the body starts working with you instead of against you.

Most of us live in defense — holding, tightening, bracing. Over time, that guarding becomes the default. The Haitian Stretch helps your body remember movement without struggle: guided breath, precise touch, and smart mobility cues invite the nervous system to ease up so muscles can follow.

When effort stops fighting effort, release happens. Range returns. Breath finds its rhythm. You stand a little taller — not because you forced it, but because your body finally felt safe enough to let go

Take a Moment...

Choose one or two reflections that match what you’re feeling right now:

• What part of your body feels most different?

• What changed in your breathing or balance?

• Where did you notice the biggest release?

• If your body could speak, what would it say?

Your body notices every act of awareness. Keep listening.
