The Practice is a new short form series here on Over-the-Counter Culture where we dive into the day to day practices and routines that people have in their life to live better. I, Jon Lynn your host, am going first to talk about my morning routine which is anchored by 1-5 minutes of movement, usually a few sun salutations and some cat/ cow postures. I used to be wrapped up in time expectations with my physical activities, exercise and what not; thinking that if I didn't do a hour of yoga, a couple hours surf session or a long bike ride, then why do it? What's the point? My friend and yoga teacher Kristen Huth, who is featured on this episode, helped me realize that it's not how long you move that's important, but THAT you move, regardless of the duration. I found that movement begets movement, and how the simple act of rolling out of bed and moving for five minutes in the morning before doing anything else can really set you day on a good course, and change your life. I challenge you dear listener, to try it. Doesn't have to be yoga, it could be 5 sit ups, a simple twist, touching your toes or some neck stretches (a favorite of mine because my neck can get tweaky on me). The point is to move, and if you do I would love to hear your feedback. Also, if you have a practice in your life that you'd like to share I would love to hear about it and feature you on the show.
