Recently, I started writing articles on Yoga stretching. I began with instructions for head stretches and am continuing down the body and will end with the feet.
This will give all of you interested in Yoga a full set of stretching instructions that you can use to target tension in one area or use as a whole body stretching sequence.
My recommendation is that the full set of stretches be done once per week, or more, as needed.
When to use the full set of stretches twice per week or more:
There is additional stress in your life
You're not feeling well enough for your usual aerobic activity but still want to move your body
You're preparing for an athletic event such as a marathon or team sport competition
You're at the point of getting back into shape after having a baby or are recovered from an illness/surgical procedure
You've changed your diet to lose weight and feel tempted to eat fattening foods
Click on the link to the Yoga site if you'd like to read the articles.
I hope all of you are enjoying a lovely Holiday. With preference to none, I like to call it the "Season Of Peace".
Stay healthy,
