Greet the Day With These 3 Morning Stretches

For many of us, the day's frenzy begins as soon as that alarm clock sounds. Instead of jumping out of bed, take a few minutes to complete these stretches. Both invigorating and relaxing at once, they'll help awaken your muscles and get your blood moving, so you'll be better prepared to face the day. Bonus: You can do these without even getting out of bed!

Upward Stretch
Lace your fingers together and lift your arms over your head, reaching as high as you can, toward the ceiling. Feel the stretch all within your torso. Hold the position for 10 seconds.

Barnes TMJ Release
Open your mouth as wide as you can, and place gentle pressure on both cheeks with your hands. You should feel your face's skin and muscles stretch as you allow gravity to gently pull your hands toward the floor. This stretch is especially beneficial to those who grind their teeth while asleep. 

Cat-Cow Pose
Borrow this yoga pose to help open your spine: Look up toward the ceiling while on all fours. As you inhale, drop your back toward the floor. Then exhale, look toward your belly button, and curve your back toward the ceiling. Repeat for one or two minutes.

Stop by Zendo’s for Iced Coffee, Music, Art and More

Zendo's is part-art space, part-coffee shop — a popular meeting spot that hosts a variety of art happenings, like gallery shows, dance performances, and music acts. This sparsely decorated space gives way for artists to interpret the room as they’d like, so the interior changes, but the vibe stays the same: friendly, hip, and always interesting.

Zendo serves what some call the best iced coffees and mochas in the city. Stop by on a Saturday morning to meet friends and catch up, or come for any of the fantastic art openings. Whenever you are in the mood for a good cup of coffee in an inspiring, uplifting space, stop by Zendo’s for just the right experience.

Nexus Brewery: Soul Food and Beer

Sample some tasty beers at Nexus Brewery. While the beers are some of the best in the city the food is also very good. Nexus is the perfect place to relax with a cold one, listen to music, and enjoy some tasty grub. The food is "New Mexican Soul Food" as the menu states. Most of the menu is Southern-inspired with a lot of fried options like fried okra, fried pickles, and some of the best fried chicken and waffles. Currently there are nine beers on tap from IPAs to smooth ales like the Scottish Ale and White Ale. To try a variety of flavors go for the eight beer flight for just $16.
