One Long, Easy Stretch
Why this one

Sometimes the body just wants one good stretch. The gift is giving it wherever it’s asking.

Hold 30–45 sec

Breath — Slow, relaxed breathing

How to do it

Reach both arms overhead and lengthen through your sides, or fold gently forward — whatever feels good today. Hold, breathe into it, and slowly let go.

Keep in mind

Follow what the body wants, not a rule.

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? →
