Daily Yoga and Stretching (morning & through-out day)

My Yoga and Stretching are an essential part of my everyday. 

I will share my neck focused stretch routine...I do stretch as often as possible through out the day.
(below is the order I prefer to use)
  • Starting with leaning my head down first
  • Rotate towards a side leading the stretches downwards with my hand at each of the four side points (right and tilted-right; tilted-left and left) with switching hands as I go to another side (right sides, right hand; left sides, left hand)
  • Slowly shrug and rotate Shoulders and Neck back and forth
  • Cup my neck, tilting my chin up... an gentle pull upwards to stretch
  • Stretch, rotate and shake out tension from Wrists
  • Stretch, rotate and lengthen Arms
  • Massaging my neckline helps complete the process 
Focus points for stretching out my whole body:
  1. Neck
  2. Abs
  3. Arms
  4. Chest
  5. Back
  6. Hips
  7. Legs 
  8. Ankles
Here is my son a couple years ago, coming down from a (helped by my husband) handstand!

I LOVE Yoga and Stretching Daily... I do alternative yoga moves since I'm 9 months pregnant but it all works great!
