3 Easy Stretches

Greetings all!

Do you ever find yourself collecting information - in the name of research, of course! - and then get overwhelmed by the options? I often feel that way with well-being tips and advice.

One of the healthy practices I like is stretching. But sometimes instead of just dropping on my yoga mat and doing a couple of familiar stretches, I end up reading yet another article or watching a YouTube video promising the next best stretch. Let me tell you - if only reading/watching translated into visible results, I would by now be performing in Cirque Du Soleil!  

So I am setting myself a challenge: every time I want to learn about a new stretch, before I actually click on the link, I will do the following 3 stretches for at least 5 breaths each: 

Cat-Cow 
[Katie Thompson]

 Reclined Twist
[Katie Thompson]

Child’s Pose
[Meiko Arquillos]

Do you have a quick stretching routine you want to share? Or you can join me on this challenge! Drop me a line, and I will see you on the mat!
