So you don’t have time for yoga, but you’re tired of your body feeling stiff and achy.

Here are 3 stretches you need to be doing every day.
1. Your spine moves in 6 directions. If you are able, move it in all 6 every day.

You can do this sitting down, laying down, standing up, with or without the support of a wall or props.

Yes, I’m counting this as 1. I’m cheating, so what.

Here are some passive ways to move your spine.

Use a pillow or bolster to twist over, side stretch over, or come into a slightly arched back.

Here’s how you make the most of your spinal twists.

Remember, it’s about twisting your spine any amount in both directions not how far you can look over your shoulder. https://twitter.com/_jasmineyallen/status/1344343023635714048
2. Stretch your hamstrings. You can do a forward fold (knees bent or straight).

Puppy dog at the wall or on the back of a chair.

You can also lie on your back and use a yoga strap to stretch one leg at a time.

3.Your hip flexor is the muscle that helps lift your leg to walk and bend at the hip to sit. It gets really tight and short from you never moving it in the opposite direction which usually leads to back pain. Try lunges, bridge posture, dancer with a strap or King Arthur posture.

I have a 17 minute YouTube class on tight hip flexors but you don’t have time to do yoga.
When you don’t move your body in its full range of motion it’s bound to get stiff and achy.

Stretching and strengthening your muscles (*cough cough* yoga) helps with your posture and overall wellness.
