Today's move
Long exhale
Breathe in for 4, out for 6 to 8.
A long out-breath lets your diaphragm travel its full range.
Move timer
Stand up.
We'll remind you.
Keep this tab open while you work. When the timer runs out, you get a one-minute move. Then it starts again.

you stuck?

Five things that never sit still
- Qi
Everything in you doing its job. When it stalls, you feel stiff and heavy.
- Blood
Your calf pushes it back up from your legs. Hours of sitting switch that pump off.
- Breath
With every breath your diaphragm drops and your organs slide past each other.
- Lymph
No pump of its own. It moves when your muscles squeeze.
- You
The one who keeps the other four moving.
For thousands of years, acupuncture has called a lot of pain and heaviness stagnation. Modern anatomy says much the same thing in its own words.
