Eight Chairs, One Moment of Calm

By Lady Flava | Simply Flava Reflections

Today, I finally joined the CV Crew for chair yoga — eight of us moving, stretching, and breathing together. 🧘‍♀️

Nurse Kirstin started this shortly after I began working here, but I’m usually upstairs when they do it. Today, though, was my lucky day. The energy was light, the laughter easy, and the room felt calm.

What made it even sweeter was how the doctors maneuvered around us — no frustration, no interruption. They know it’s only for a few minutes and they support us taking that moment for ourselves.

We began with deep breathing — slow and intentional — then moved into a variety of gentle stretches. Each of us also added one movement our body needed most in that moment. It was simple but so grounding.

Then came the question of the day: “What sport do you watch?”

Everyone shared, smiled, and laughed — a reminder that connection doesn’t always need to be deep to be meaningful.

This small act of pausing, breathing, and moving together was a beautiful reminder that wellness at work isn’t just possible — it’s essential. 🌻
