Written By Grace Leach

Take a moment and let the feel-good waves wash over you. This yoga-inspired stretching session is designed to open up your chest, loosen your muscles and calm your mind.

  • TIME - 12 MIN

  • EQUIPMENT - NO EQUIPMENT

  • TARGETS -FULL BODY

 In this 12 Minute Deep Stretch, you will do 24 stretches for your entire body.

 Hold each stretch for 30 seconds and move directly into the next stretch without pausing.

 Your stretch will start with deep breaths to calm your mind and then you’ll target the muscles and joints in the upper body beginning with shoulder, bicep, tricep, and back stretches.

 You’ll fold forward and work out way down to the floor where you’ll target your joints and muscles again. You’ll target the hamstrings, calves, lower back, hips, psoas, glutes, abductors, and quads.
