Whether you've been reading every headline in the news, or have been taking the situation in stride, this pandemic likely has had an impact on your regular routine -- both physically and mentally. In this episode of Coach Chat, Marina Simovic joins Coach Colette to talk to us about maintaining flexibility --  and, not just in the physical sense. Marina is a stretch therapist and Reiki master who engages her clients in a very personalized approach to achieve calmness and peace of mind.

How much time do you spend sitting and staring at your computer screen? Remaining seated for long periods of time can cause pain and discomfort. Stretch therapy is a combination of physical therapy and Thai massage that incorporates traction and movement to effectively increase joint flexibility. Marina describes how to improve your health with deep, synchronized breathing and stretching techniques that help counter your sedentary habits. She recommends that you move your body every 45 minutes and drink water throughout the day. This helps to produce a clearer mind and reduce tension, which leaves you feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and more limber.
