River Riverside Path
Water on one side, city on the other — a long calming line that regulates the breath.
Rivers and canals reduce perceived noise and widen the visual field. The flat, uninterrupted rhythm settles the nervous system and the walk needs no navigation.
Follow the water downstream for the first half, then double back on the far bank. Bridges give the walk rhythm; step down to the lower quay wherever it exists — the traffic disappears completely.

Restorative · a pace the vagus nerve can rest in
Breathe in for 4 steps, out for 5. Keep the exhale a little longer than the inhale — that is the whole practice.
Slow down until the count softens. Sit on the next bench for a full minute. Presence is the goal — the map will wait.
