10 Minute Full Body Stretch
In this guided session, we're focusing on enhancing flexibility through mindful stretching and conscious breathing. This routine is perfect to fit into a busy day.
Begin by spreading your fingertips wide with wrists positioned under the shoulders and knees under the hips. Inhale to drop the belly, expanding the chest, a process known as the "Cow Pose." Transition to the "Cat Pose" on exhale, pressing into the ground and rounding the spine. This gentle flow between Cat and Cow encourages an increase in spinal flexibility and awareness.
Find an enhanced deep stretch by moving the hips sideways within Cat Pose. This unique variation involves redirecting weight systematically to feel extension through the sides of the back, enhancing the stretch routines you may be familiar with.
Curl your toes under, transition into Downward Facing Dog by pushing the hips back. Alternate bending each knee to help stretch the calves and create engagement through the core while anchoring the low ribs.
From Downward Facing Dog, lift one leg behind, known as "Three-Legged Dog," and shift the force forward stepping into a low lunge. You can choose to lower the back knee and adjust toes for a deeper muscle connection and hip stretch, as you stretch one hip back while grounding through the front foot.
Finish by inhaling deeply, lowering the knees, sliding the hands forward into Puppy Pose for heart openness and spine decompression. Transition gradually to seated cross-legged positions to perform gentle side neck stretches and finally bring palms to the foreheads post connection to close the routine with a soothing breath and reflection.
Check posture while often visualizing stretching directions, ensure each pose cultivates calming energy as you feel the gentle adjustments across your body. This session stand by the idea that the practice is an everlasting journey promoting tangible mindfulness inside out through each bodily session holding or releasing stretches directed for utmost relaxation.
