Part 5/7:
Full-Body Relaxation: Child’s Pose Stretch
One of the simplest yet most effective stretches is the child's pose.
Transition onto all fours and then sit your bottom back onto your heels.
Tuck your chin into your chest and sink into the stretch, allowing your arms to extend forward.
Hold this position for 30 seconds, focusing on breathing and relaxing your back muscles.
This position stretches the spine and relieves tension throughout your back.
Upper Back Extension for Chest Opening
To counter any anterior shoulder tightness, try an upper back extension.
Place your fingertips behind your head, folding forward with your elbows together.
Open your elbows wide while looking up to the ceiling, feeling the stretch across your chest.
