Seated Yoga Stretches for Every Day
Continuing with the theme from last week, let’s take just over 5 minutes to try these seated stretches!
Not all yoga has to be super bendy and flexible.
Try out these 3 moves to bring some movement to an otherwise seated day!
- Gentle hip openers
- From a seated and even balance of front to back, and left to right… we elevate one foot ever so slightly… and then inhale to roll onto the outer side of the foot, exhale to roll the foot flat once again. Gently opening and closing the leg, while moving with the breath.
- Seated forward folds
- In a seat, we can enjoy a forward fold motion (and many of the benefits of this stretch!) without the element of balance. Letting the torso rest on the thighs, we focus on a nice long stretch in the spine… letting the head be suuuper heavy.
- Goalpost arm tilts
- Find a gentle stretch for the side body, as we inhale the arms up overhead, exhale the elbows down to a goalpost shape… the next inhale we tuck one elbow down and into the waist, stretching the other arm up and overhead. Exhaling back to center, we try the other side.
Bringing you short and sweet yoga, that you can easily incorporate into your every day… is my mission.
