LET'S GET BACK TO THE BASICS!

Let's go back to the basics! Here are a few easy yoga stretches to try if you're wanting to start yoga, or you can even do these before a workout.

Let's GO! 

 

 

1. Start on all fours, with your hands just under your shoulders. Spread your fingers apart (middle fingers pointing straight forward). 

2. This is called Downward Facing Dog. It feels great! Raise your body up from the first position, heels as close to the ground as possible. (You'll definitely feel your hamstrings stretching). With your arms passing your earlobes, and your hands on the ground, press back into your heels. Hold for 10-15 breaths. Close your eyes and get in tune with your body. 

3. If you feel like you can take it further raise one leg to the sky and be sure not to over extend. *DO WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE!* While still breathing point the toe for a deeper stretch. (Sometimes I like to do this on my tip toes)

4. Time to relax in Child Pose. Knees together and sitting on your heels. Try to rest your forehead on the floor and your arms are side by side. Close your eyes and take 10-15 deep breaths. 

There you have it! Give it a try and your body will surely thank you for it. See you next Thursday. NAMASTE!
