MULTI-MUSCLE STRETCHES

We all need to move and stretch. Here are some of the multi-muscle ways to relax, stretch, increase range of motion. Remember, just as important as the static pose, is the way transitions.

  • Cobra pose
  • Down dog pose
  • Extended childs pose
  • Low lunge pose
  • Mountain pose, hands raised
  • Prone over stability ball
  • Standing forward fold pose
  • Supine bent knee torso twist
  • Supine over stability ball
  • Triangle pose
  • Up dog pose
  • Warrior pose

NOTE: For traditional static stretches to be effective, determine the correct muscle angle (function) and vary the stretch duration from 2–60 seconds.
