you move through some positions today go ahead and come up and switch one more time each okay so you’ll feel your muscles opening up and then as you move them you’ll feel the difference good last one on this side come on up and over there we go feel it loosening up from when we first started good all right let’s make your way back to the other side and now when you open your arm up i want you to take your top shoulder fold it down a little bit to the floor and reach out with your hand okay so you’ve got a really nice arch in your back your lower back is really feeling this stretch good sweep it over to the other side same thing you’re open and then take that top shoulder down and arch it over you’re thinking about creating an arch from your pinky finger here all the way up to your tailbone here great job and swing it over one more time perfect last one switch right here beautiful hang it down in front let’s go a little bit wider with your feet okay down in front fold forward there we go come on up if you can put your hands on the ground bend your right leg then your left leg let’s move and loosen up your adductors to get a little hip release [Music] there you go shift

to twist perfect let’s switch it over one more time and sit down a little lower and then twist good job last one switch it over sit a little lower then twist good work let’s take everything and point it over to the left side so point your toes over your chest and your hips and then drop your right knee down to the floor okay that back leg is nice and relaxed okay let’s point the hips to the floor here in this deep runner’s lunge good get situated everything is facing this side and if you can go ahead and push your front knee outward a little bit okay also if you can there’s an option to just go a little bit lower so maybe you take your time and get there after you sit in your runner’s lunge for just a second but if you can you can open up your knee here to the side and then make your way down onto your elbows beautiful come back up onto your hands if you’re on your elbows take your left hand put it on your left knee push to twist so when you’re pushing to twist yes you are getting a thoracic turn so turning in your spine but also you can see when i twist my hip dips a little bit lower so that’s what we’re going for here good come back into the middle both hands on the ground shift your weight back to that back leg and just arch it over front leg is straight just relax here beautiful come on up to your hands and i want you to take that front straight leg and take it under your body now okay we’ll move into a pigeon pose here all right so if you need to modify a little bit i want you to stay up high okay not putting your hips down to the floor if you can get to the floor you can also tuck your foot in here a little bit and just making sure that your hips are pointed to the floor as the whole mission of this stretch okay so don’t go out here this is your next advancement if you can’t keep your hips facing the ground so let’s make our way there at the level that feels good to you all right the more you fold over top of your perpendicular shin the better the stretch is going to be for your psoas your glutes your low back your hips so go to where you feel stretched not uncomfortable but stretched okay there’s a difference and if you’re feeling uncomfortable modify in some way good let’s hold here for just about another 20 seconds going as low as you can progressing into [Music] it good four three two one slowly make your way back out of that stretch good and let’s take this bent leg as you open up your hips and tuck it right in here on your straight leg okay or what was your back leg all right take your hand on the bent leg side arch

kind of almost take our breath away okay relax into your stretch good let’s fold that chest down to the floor reach out with your left hand to that right foot i want you to feel this in your back a little bit more than you did on that first stretch [Music] [Music] good all right come on up and let’s switch sides okay the other leg goes out straight we take it out to the side first and then open

collar bones four three two good all right go ahead and round your back out place your arms down and go lower if you can alright i know a lot of people are working on this stretch so let’s progress into it you can start with a rounded back and then you’re going to get the most out of the stretch the more you kind of rotate your hips forward like you’re trying to pull your belly button to your mat okay [Music] good challenge yourself to keep your toes kind of pointed upwards i know this stretch is one that a lot of people are working on and i’ve been stretching every day for probably the past 10 15 years so this is not something that is just kind of well you’re just flexible i work at it a lot i had to for my college career and then just from there wanting to stay injury-free and make sure that’s definitely a part of my day every day okay slowly make your way back up and we’re going to switch that runner’s lunge over to the right leg okay so we were previously here with our yeah

hand on the right knee push and i can feel this hip is definitely tighter than the other one so if that’s the case for you too don’t push into something that feels painful okay you might have to progress a little slower on one side and that’s okay just take your time through the stretch good breathe there you go come back in to the middle shift it back that front leg straightens out i just

The Benefits of Yoga and Pilates

Yoga and Pilates are two powerful practices that offer numerous benefits for your physical and mental well-being.

Yoga: Harmony and Relaxation

Yoga is an ancient practice that combines physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation to promote overall well-being.

Here are some key benefits:

Improved Flexibility: Regular yoga practice stretches and lengthens your muscles, improving your range of motion and reducing stiffness.
Enhanced Balance: Yoga poses a challenge to your balance and coordination, helping to prevent falls and improve stability.
Stress Relief: The mindful breathing and meditation techniques used in yoga can help reduce stress and promote a sense of calm and relaxation.
Mindfulness: Yoga encourages you to be present and aware, fostering a deeper connection between your mind and body.

Pilates: Core Strength and Posture

Pilates focuses on controlled movements and precise techniques to strengthen your core and improve your posture.

Here are some key benefits:

Core Strength: Pilates exercises target the deep abdominal muscles, helping to build a strong and stable core.
Improved Posture: By strengthening the muscles that support your spine, Pilates helps you maintain good posture and reduce back pain.
Increased Flexibility: Like yoga, Pilates enhances your flexibility through controlled, flowing movements.
Body Awareness: Pilates promotes body awareness, helping you understand and correct your movement patterns.
