Why gentle exercise helps

Gentle does not mean “lightweight.” It means sustainable and smart. Slow shifts improve balance. Joint release brings back comfortable movement. Breath work reduces stress and helps you feel present. If you’re 50+, this approach respects your body and keeps you consistent.
