Move slowly so your body learns when to let go—not only when to push hard.
Use pillows and blankets so your body is held up, not fighting gravity. Staying still three to five minutes tells your system it is safe to soften. Try child's pose with a pillow under your chest and a blanket under your ankles—breathe into your lower back.
Lie back with the soles of your feet together and knees apart; slide pillows under your thighs if it feels strong. A gentle twist on each side finishes the set—shoulders down, turn from your waist. These work on a living-room floor just as well as in a studio.
Warm socks and soft light help. Do not push into pain—mild stretch is enough. If you get sleepy, that is a common response for some people; experiences vary and are not guaranteed.
Sitting all day tightens your back and hips. Every hour and a half, stand or stay seated and do cat-cow in your chair: arch on inhale, round on exhale, six times. Roll your neck slowly, circle your wrists both ways.
Set a phone reminder for "stretch break." Two minutes you actually do beats twenty minutes you keep skipping.
Signal "work is over": change clothes, mute extra alerts, roll out your mat. In about fifteen minutes you can do cat-cow, a soft downward dog with bent knees, a low lunge each side, a gentle hip stretch, then legs up the wall for four minutes.
When you fold forward, breathe out a little longer than you breathe in (for example four out, three in). Skip fast, jumpy flows at night unless you know they calm you down.
Finish lying down, knees bent, hands on your belly, feeling the floor under you. That pause helps you shift toward sleep instead of diving straight back into screens.
