By Vanessa Bailey and Karla Brodie - HUM | 8-10 minute read and watch
Hum’s self-care practices are like a good cup of tea or taking a breather. A few moments to pause in your everyday life to enhance vitality, mental focus and circulation.
Hum have recorded five short practices in their backyard bubbles to help us maintain our wellbeing. They are only one to two minutes long and you can watch and practice them anywhere.
Try taking one practice each day, and if you enjoy it, roll-it into your routine 3 to 5 times a day.
With two minutes you can fluff yourself up like a feather cushion.
With two minutes you can give yourself a satisfying whole body yawn.
With two minutes you can ground yourself by playing your balance.
With two minutes you can connect to your organs.
With two minutes you can say hello to your feet.
If you find these useful, you may wish to mix and match the practices and continue to weave them into your days, enjoy.
