24.01.2022 WIDE LEGGED FORWARD FOLD WHY: Foward folds help stretch the hamstrings, inner thighs, calves and back. It helps strengthen the legs and stabilise the ankles. It is also known to help relieve stress, mild depression and high blood pressure. HOW:... 1. Stand with both feet wider than hip width and press all four corners of your feet on the ground. 2. Place your hands on hips and bend forward from the hips and let the head become heavy. 3. Arms can remain heavy and hang otherwise pistol grip your big toes and traction the shoulders up. For a little more - activate the legs and pull the kneecaps up and spin the inner thighs forward - interlace the fingers behind the tailbone and lift the arms towards the roof : @jlouislouis

17.01.2022 NECK STRETCH (extensors) WHY: Stretching neck extensors helps relieve muscle tension and neck pain. It can help decrease muscle tightness that can cause headaches and stiffness around the joints. HOW:... 1. Interlace the fingers behind your head with the thumbs supporting the base of the skull either seated or standing. 2. Bring your chin to your chest and use the weight of your hands to guide the chin closer to the chest. 3. Gently traction the skull away from the shoulder blades to create more space in the spine. 4. Hold for 30 sec and repeat as necessary. Best to do daily to maintain mobility. : @jlouislouis

17.01.2022 LIZARD LUNGE (restorative) WHY: Lizard lunge opens the hips, hamstrings and groin. It also opens the shoulders, chest and neck. HOW:... 1. Place both hands on the inside of the Right knee at shoulder width. 2. Turn the Right toes out about 45 degrees. 3. Encourage the hips to move forward and down to open the Left hip and the Right hamstring *if the hamstring is tight. 4. Extend the chest forward and soften the shoulders down to prevent the upper back from rounding. Keep the head in line with the spine. 5. Hold for 30-60 seconds and repeat on other side. Variations use blocks (or a thick book) under the hands if you need extra height OR if you’ve got the space, bend the elbows and place under the shoulders. push the Right knee out to the right. tuck the Left toes under and lift the Left knee off the ground. : @jlouislouis

09.01.2022 SEATED SIDE STRETCH Why: #seatedsidestretch improves ribs cage mobility by lengthening the muscles between the ribs and pelvis and parts of the lower back. This helps the rib cage expand which improves your breathing. It can also help stretch the groin, hamstrings, calves, neck HOW: ... 1. Start seated, spine tall with legs crossed*. 2. Place your left hand beside your left hip*. Inhale to lift right arm up. 3. Exhale to bring your right arm to the left. Create extra space on your right side by locking the right shoulder into the shoulder joint and cementing the right butt cheek down to the ground. 4. Hold for 4+ deep breaths. Repeat on the left side. * Fold your mat or place a towel under your seat to encourage the spine to sit tall. * Use blocks (or thick books) if your hand does not reach the ground. ** Add a neck stretch by allowing your ear drop to the adjacent shoulder.

04.01.2022 CLAMSHELLS WHY: Clamshell exercise helps strengthen the gluteus medius which is responsible for stabilising your pelvis. If done correctly clams help strengthen your obliques (side muscles of the core), balance the muscular effort used between your inner and outer thighs and stabilise and strengthen your shoulders and upper back. HOW:... 1. Lie on your side (or upright on elbows), bend your knees and bring them forward. 2. Tuck your tailbone under and lift the bottom ribs to keep stomach muscles contracted. 3. Place your hand on your top hip to keep the hips stable. With control, open the top knee without rotating the top hip. 4. Close the knee with control to complete one round. Repeat 10-15 times. 5. Repeat on the other side. See more
