Paradise Stretch (Final Rest)
Starting position

Lie on your back and let both knees fold gently to one side. Sweep the arms long overhead and rest them on the floor.

How to do it

Simply breathe and let everything soften — feel one long, easy stretch through the side body, hips, and spine. Rest 30–60 seconds, then float the knees through center to the other side.

Keep in mind

Nothing to do here but breathe and lengthen. · Let the floor hold you completely.

Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor — a gentle lift, never a clench — and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
