GREAT stretches in the morning before my weight lifting session

Corinna

Raquel

Need to wake your body up or cool it down? This one is perfect for morning OR night 🥰.

You do not need any equipment for this but it is always nice to have a pillow or a couple of yoga blocks if available!

Each stretch is timed for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Hold the stretches for the entire time and work on relaxing your body as much as possible! Make sure to do each side 🤌🏾.

Hope you enjoy!

**switch sides halfway through the timer (at 45 seconds)

• start seated with your legs comfortably folded

• bring one hand to the opposite side of your head

• gently pull on your head up and to the side, stretching the fingertips of your other arm out to lengthen 

• MAKE SURE YOU ARE BEING GENTLE - this is a very intense stretch for some people and your neck is a sensitive area!

Neck Stretches

• start seated with feet together

• stretch your feet forward until you feel like they are going to start separating from each other (DO NOT hug your heels close to your body - that is a different stretch)

• lift your chest tall before folding at the hip creases forward, keeping the back straight

• keep folding until you can’t anymore

• let your head drop LAST

• soften shoulders and neck

Bound Angle Forward Fold

*** do the full 90 sec on each side

• start in table too pose with fingers spread wide and knees hip width apart

• reach one arm up towards the ceiling

• weave the arm underneath you, laying down on the shoulder

• stretch your other arm forward and slightly behind your head

• OPTIONAL - lift the leg on the side that you’re facing and extend it back so the toes are planted at the back of the mat (open your hip up)

• keep pressing the forearm down and slightly pulling it towards you like you’re trying to rip your shoulders apart (but not too aggressive)

Thread the Needle

• bring your feet hip width

• slightly bend the knees and hinge at the waist forward, softening the hips

• let your spine elongate like you’re trying to touch the crown of your head to the floor

• OPTIONAL: cross your forearms and grab opposite elbows with each hand

• keep softening with each exhale and bend your knees as much as you need! Your legs should never be locked 🙅🏾‍♀️

Forward Fold

• bring your feet out wide, slightly turning the toes outward

• clasp your hands firmly behind your back and squeeze the shoulders back

• keeping the knees slightly bent, fold forward at your hip creases, drawing the knuckles forward

• soften your shoulders and drop your neck

• keep pressing the knuckles forward
