Hip Stretch
These two stretches will make your hips feel better immediately. Stretching your piriformis muscle in your glutes is absolutely essential to keeping your lower back feeling good.
Lizard Sequence
This deep hip and quad stretch is great to do once you’re nice and warm. Great for runners!
Classic Downward-Facing Dog to Child’s Pose
Do this sequence continuously five times and notice an increased heart rate, stretched spine, and deeper breaths.
Lateral Shoulder Stretch
This stretch literally benefits everyone! I’ve never seen this not help. Check out your breath before and after this pose. You’ll be amazed at how gentle stretching through the rib cage helps you breathe more easily.
Thread the Needle Sequence
Thread the Needle sequence is great for your shoulders and back! You can make it more energetic by keeping your weight pitched forward. This will give you the strengthening benefit of a one-arm pushup. Or keep your weight pitched further back for more of the stretch benefit.
