 | | | Buttocks | | | Our buttocks are not just seat cushions. They are large muscles involved in standing up and climbing stairs or hills. As one of the muscle groups of the pelvic area they help form a link between our upper and lower body. This stretch works well with the Hip Flexor stretch in loosening and balancing the pelvic area. |
| |
 | | | Chest | | | This stretch opens our chest and shoulders. These areas often tighten because we spend large amounts of time reaching or leaning forward. It helps correct poor posture and enhances our ability to breathe deeply as our chest is able to expand fully. |
| |
 | | | Downward Facing Dog Pose | | | An all-over revitalizing stretch focusing on the hamstrings, calves, foot arches and hands. Also strengthens the legs, arms and shoulders. May assist digestion, relieve mild depression and headaches and calm the mind. |
| |
 | | | Hip Flexors | | | The pelvic area forms the link between our upper and lower body. Imbalances in flexibility through any of its muscles can reflect in discomfort or pain throughout our body. This stretch lengthens muscles shortened by hours spent sitting, and helps balance our posture. |
| |
 | | | Plank Pose | | | A great strengthening exercise for the arms, wrists and spine. Also tones the abdominal muscles. |
