DIRECTIONS:

Work from one move to the next, resting as needed. Take your time and breathe in deeply at each stretch. Do 2 rounds.

Lie on your stomach, arms out to the side.

Lift your right foot; reach it over your left leg, aiming to touch your foot to the floor (pictured). Pause and hold. Return to the start and repeat on the other side. That’s 1 rep; do 8.

Sit on your shins, then shift your right foot out to the right, knee straight. Bend at the waist and place your hands on the floor. Gently rock backwards, stretching the inner thigh of your straight leg. Do 8 reps per side.

Kneel on your right knee, left foot on the floor. Place your hands together, straight out in front of you. Pull your left elbow back as far as you can, as if shooting a bow and arrow. Extend your arm. Do 8 reps per side.

Kneel on your right knee, left foot on the floor. Put your left hand on the floor. Reach your right arm towards the ceiling, stretching your chest. Squeeze your shoulder blades. Return to the start. Do 8 reps per side.
