Stretch after a long week. Stretch after a hard workout. Stretch after a stressful day. Stretch out! Do some yoga!! Reach for the sun! Yoga releases tension and stress. Breathe in and regain the energy you lost. Breathe out and feel like a brand new person! Lets do some yoga on the floor stretching the spine and waist! Take a seat on the floor. Bring your hand together reaching your arms to the sky. Elongate the spine. Keeping your glutes on the floor, stretch to the left and then to the right. Stretch as far as your body will let you without causing pain. Reach for the sun with a little yoga!
Now try it!! Sit down. Watch your posture. Keep your body upright. Stretch up to the sky and hold for 30-40 seconds. Stretch to the left and hold for 30-40 seconds. Stretch to the right and hold for 30-40 seconds. Complete 3 sets. Challenge yourself by holding each position longer! Yoga time!
Add this to your yoga routine. Get rid of sore muscles with yoga!
Love this stretch?! Stress-free yet?!!
Take care and get fit…Jen
