For the twelfth day of stretching Liza is here to show you Extended Child’s Pose. Also known as Utthita Balasana in Sanskrit, this stretch is a foundational yoga posture, but you don’t have to be a yogi to enjoy its benefits. In addition to offering a full body stretch that hits back and glutes, this posture can be deeply relaxing, supporting your mental wellbeing too.

We hope you enjoy this final stretch and take a few minutes to pause during this busy time of year to give it a try. To all who have followed along, thanks for joining us for the 12 Days of Stretching!

Happy Monday of Christmas Week! Today and tomorrow we’re sharing our last two stretches. For day eleven of stretching Anna will show you a stretch for your QL.

If you have low back pain this could be a helpful addition to your pain management routine. Try it alongside the doorway pec stretch from day two for postural support that’s as simple as finding a doorway 🚪

Happy Friday! For the tenth day of stretching Erin will show you two versions of a piriformis stretch.

This muscle sits deep in the pelvis and lies next to (or sometimes around) the sciatic nerve. Runners and desk workers alike can benefit from stretching piriformis to prevent pain and stiffness and optimize movement.

For day nine of stretching, EJ will show you two versions of a biceps stretch.

Carrying heavy luggage during your holiday travels? Take a stretch break and show your arms some love. Also give it a try after arm day at the gym, it’s a great way to prevent injury 💪

For the eighth day of stretching Heather will show you two stretches for muscles on the front of your neck: platysma and sternocleidomastoid.

These stretches can help with neck tension and discomfort, especially if you tend to have forward head posture. Try pairing them with the levator scap and upper trap stretches from day one for a well-rounded neck stretch routine.

For day seven of stretching Jeff is going to show you how to stretch the wrist flexors and extensors. These stretches can ease some stiffness and support hand health if you spend a lot of time typing, playing racquet sports, or just finished a marathon of writing Christmas letters and wrapping gifts.

Happy Monday V&W followers. To kick off the second week of stretching, Dylan is going to show you how to do a lat stretch at a table (this could work at your kitchen counter or table). You can also do this stretch kneeling in front of a chair seat, or sitting in a chair leaning over an exercise ball. This stretch supports healthy posture and is great for swimmers and athletes in throwing sports.

Happy Friday! To end our first week of stretching Yasmin is going to show us a calf stretch.

The version she demonstrates targets the superficial gastrocnemius muscle. You can target the deeper soleus muscle by adding a bend to your back knee when doing this stretch. Both would be great for your legs after a long day on your feet, whether you’ve been shopping for presents or preparing a holiday feast 🎁🧑‍🍳

For the fourth day of stretching, Neala is going to show you how to do a kneeling hip flexor stretch. This is another great one to add to your routine if you sit for long periods of time and experience low back pain. Give it a try before bed tonight, you’ll be glad you did.

Kevin is here for day three of stretching to show you a hamstring stretch with a strap (festive lights optional.)

If you don’t have a strap you can use a towel instead or simply bring your thigh towards your chest and hold above the back of the knee. If you’re someone who sits a lot for work this stretch can help you maintain flexibility and manage low back pain. If you’re an athlete, incorporating this into your cool down can help you prevent injuries. Pretty much everyone can give their hamstrings a little TLC, so give this stretch a try today!

For the second day of stretching Sandra will demonstrate a doorway pec stretch. Just like the trap and levator scap stretches we shared yesterday, this is a great one to do when you’re taking a break at the office. For anyone who spends a lot of time doing computer work or driving, incorporating this stretch into your routine can support better posture.
