Stretch with Intention + Full Body Flexibility Flow

Flexibility is key to overall health and well-being, allowing you to move freely and prevent injuries. Incorporating intentional stretching into your routine can improve flexibility and range of motion. Here's a full-body flexibility flow to help you stretch with intention and enhance your flexibility:

Warm-up:

• Start with gentle neck rolls to release tension in the neck and shoulders.
• Move into shoulder circles to loosen up the upper body.
• Perform side stretches to lengthen the sides of the body.

Full Body Flow:

1. Forward Fold: Stand with feet hip-width apart and fold forward, reaching towards your toes.
2. Downward Dog: Transition into downward dog position, pressing your heels towards the floor.
3. Low Lunge: Step one foot forward into a low lunge position, sinking your hips down.
4. Twist: Twist towards the front leg, opening up the chest and shoulders.
5. Repeat on the other side.
6. Seated Forward Fold: Sit on the floor with legs extended, fold forward reaching for your feet.
7. Spinal Twist: Cross one leg over the other and twist towards the bent knee.
8. Repeat on the other side.
9. Child's Pose: Finish the flow in child's pose to stretch the lower back and relax.

Remember to breathe deeply and listen to your body as you move through each stretch. Hold each pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute, focusing on lengthening and relaxing the muscles. Incorporate this flexibility flow into your regular routine to improve your overall flexibility and feel more mobile and agile in your daily activities.

Stay consistent with your stretching practice, and over time, you'll notice improvements in your flexibility and range of motion. Enjoy the process and embrace the journey towards a more flexible and mobile body!
