What makes up the perfect morning routine? I’m the kinda person who has to ease into the world each day, and my morning routine has become super important to that process.

Several of my coworkers invited me to alpaca yoga at Eagle Eye Farm — a lovely expanse of green grass, white picket fences, friendly staff and the cutest little farm animals. I had a smile on my face the whole time, whether I was releasing muscle tension through down dog or petting Pearl, one of many alpacas on the farm.

There are certain things we can’t change, or maybe we don’t see how we can right now. But maybe there’s ways we can sneak a little sensory awareness into our day — and reap some amazing wellness benefits as a result.
