Mindful Study Breaks are a collection of videos that feature stretches and movements for Mayo Clinic learners and employees who are engaged in tasks that include prolonged sitting or standing. Just a little bit of movement goes a long way in increasing physical flexibility and mental focus. For every few hours that you’re sitting or standing, consider taking a 2-minute Mindful Study Break.
In this Mindful Study Break, we demonstrate stretches for the upper and lower back.
