ZZZZZZZ ...

Dear readers, this week ‘Z’ could only be *ZZZZZZZZZ*! 

You know how sometimes you long to fall asleep (like my chum above) but counting all those sheep simply isn’t working! Perhaps the answer is some exercise to help you relax before bedtime. But don’t panic and hide!

I don’t mean a half marathon around the block but rather a little light, gentle stretching! 

Remember our earlier Yoga Bear instructions? How they went something like this:

Exercise 1: Both feet up like so ...

Well done! Wasn’t too hard was it? Let’s try some more in Exercise 2:

Now Exercise 3: Left leg stretch. Ooh! Did you pull something too?

Next Exercise 4: Right leg stretch. Ooh! Aah!

And now Exercise 5: Right groin stretch. More ooh! Aah!

Next Exercise 6: Right leg stretch a bit more. Getting the hang of it now? Getting in your, er, stride?

Finally, Exercise 7: And relax! You deserve it!

Repeat as often as necessary until you get more and more drowsy (like the bears below) 

and (like me) just want to *ZZZZZZZZZ* ...
