Standing Side Reach
Warm-Up · Move 3 of 19 · 3 each side
Why this one
We begin by waking the whole side body. Reaching up and over lengthens the muscles between the ribs and hips — the ones that grow short and stiff from sitting.
How to do it
Stand tall, feet hip-width. Reach your right arm up and bend gently over to the left, keeping your weight even in both feet. Hold a breath, return to center, and switch sides.
Keep in mind
Lengthen up and over — don’t collapse into it.
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? →
