If you have been working or studying and need to take a quick and restful break, follow along with this guided relaxation exercise to take a quick stretch.

Breaks can help you focus. Sitting for long periods of time is unhealthy, and it is important to take regular breaks to move around.

When you follow along with this guided study break, avoid any movements that cause discomfort or pain. Make sure to listen to your body. Only stretch until you feel a slight lengthening of the muscle. The stretches should not be painful. If any stretch feels uncomfortable, ease up until you find a comfortable position, and stop if you need to.
