Tips to Help Improve Flexibility

We’ve all said it at some point – “I need to stretch more!” By the time we’re done with our workout, we’re ready to GO (lol). But regularly incorporating our stretches is so helpful for our physical well-being. In this video, I share some helpful tips on how to improve flexibility.

Flexibility training is just as important as our cardio and strength training. It helps for us to move more comfortably through our exercises, to reduce the risk of injury, to increase our range of motion, among many other benefits. If you’re looking to make stretching a part of your well-rounded fitness regimen, then this is a video you may find helpful.

As we talk about ways to improve flexibility, we’ll go over things like:

  • Creating a schedule.
  • Knowing when to reduce the stretch.
  • Incorporating props.
  • Connecting to your breath.

Plus a few more things! I may be biased, but I believe stretching can be fun and easily fit into our schedules! 🙂 Let me know in the comments below if these tips help you out along your journey.

Sensual Flow & Release

Let’s move through this guided sensual flow and release. This routine is a gentle stretch that will allow for you to let go of tension in the body while connecting more to your physical self.

Taking the time out to listen to my body and move into the stretches it guides me towards has been such a valuable part of my wellness journey. I often find myself using that to help wind me down before bed or incorporating it into a ‘self-care Saturday’ night at home.

 As you move through this sensual flow and release, think about being present in the moment. Notice how the stretches feel. See if there are areas of the body where you are holding on to more tension. Pay attention to any thoughts that may come up for you as you go through the movements. Sometimes we’re on the go so much that we don’t get a chance to check in to these parts of ourselves. 

Allow yourself to move comfortably, and make an effort to not push past pain or discomfort.  Let me know how this goes for you in the comments below!
