standing routine.

This simple standing routine is so low maintenance that it can be done anywhere and at anytime. I love these poses because they help stretch my back, hips and shoulders without having to get down on a mat. They help if I have been on my feet a lot or just need an extra boost during the day. I have listed each one below and then have added the video at the end for viewing. 

I always start every routine standing to lengthening my body and stretching my spine. It is a great way to begin.

Bend your elbows and take them out to the right while you take your gaze up. This is a great upper back, chest, and shoulder stretch.

Keep your gaze up and extend your left arm up overhead and point your right hand to the floor, opening the palm. This stretches the side body.

Keeping your left arm up overhead, put your right arm on your hip and push your hips to the left. This deepens the stretch in your hips.

With your hand still on your hip, step your left foot behind you. This creates an even deeper stretch in the hips.

Once you have taken that step back, bend your right knee and drop your head behind you. This will take the stretch to your lower and mid back.
