International Mind-Body Wellness Day
January 3 · Level 1 · #2093 of 2238
On 3 January the idea is simple: head and body work as a team. A tired mind craves movement, and stiff shoulders crave calm, so the day nudges everyone to start the year by looking after both.
How it is celebrated: people do yoga or stretching, meditate, take a walk outdoors, go to bed early, or put the phone away for an evening.
Yoga grew out of ancient India and tai chi out of China. Both link breath, movement and attention in a single practice.
