Relaxing Stretches

Wrist Stretches

Crowded shopping malls. Work deadlines. Airport lines. Holiday time can turn your body and mind into a twisted knot. Try these soothing moves anytime, anywhere to keep you relaxed and jolly.

Our wrists help us perform the simplest tasks, from chopping carrots to flossing our teeth. So it's no surprise that a twinge of discomfort — after too much typing or a Down Dog gone awry — could throw a wrench in our routine.

Shoulder Tension Tamers

You know it well: the tightness, the dull ache, the sense that your shoulders are creeping ever closer to your ears. So often, tension takes hold in the neck and shoulders first, resulting not only in pain and stiffness but also impaired mobility. The culprit? Poor posture, stress, and incorrect movement (especially when exercising) can all be to blame.

Standing Torso Stretch

This stretch can help create mental, emotional, and physical balance as it leads to a state of calm.

Ease Back Pain

If you're suffering from back pain, try these stretches. For best results, practice these moves most days of the week — and boost your results by drinking plenty of water. It's another way to keep your fascia supple and back pain at bay.

De-Stress Your Day

Exercise is one of the most important tools for battling stress. Even when practiced for short durations, regular periods of physical activity can help restore hormone balance and calm your nervous system.
