Six holds, ten minutes, all on the floor: 90 seconds in child’s pose, a minute per side in a supine twist, a minute of happy baby, 90 seconds in reclined butterfly, and four minutes with your legs up the wall to finish. Once you’re down, there’s nothing to get up for.
Every shape is supported and either folded or face-up — made for low light and slow breathing in the half hour before bed, with the longest, stillest pose saved for last. Make the wall finish even longer in the editor if those four minutes turn out to be the best part.
A short flow to take the body from sleep to ready: spine, hips, shoulders, then a long final fold. Asymmetric on purpose — each pose is held as long as it deserves, not on a fixed clock.
A six-minute fix for shoulders, hips, and neck after too long at a screen. Stand up, push the chair back, and take it slow — the goal is breath and undoing, not a workout.
Eight rounds of 0:30 dynamic mobility with 0:15 between to switch sides or poses. Keep it light and continuous — leg swings, arm circles, hip openers — and let the body decide what it needs.
Four hip-mobility stretches rotated for two rounds at 1:00 work, 0:20 release. Lizard, pigeon, frog, and butterfly — covers internal and external rotation across the round.
Three deep hip stretches, three rounds each, finished one stretch at a time before moving to the next. Group format means progressive depth — each round, settle a little lower than the last.
A progressive hamstring session — holds get longer as the body opens up. Asymmetric on purpose: the standing fold is short, the closing pancake is long. Stay with the breath, especially at the bottom.
Four shoulder stretches rotated for three rounds at 0:45 work, 0:15 release. Pec opener, cross-body, thread-the-needle, and overhead reach — opens both anterior and posterior chains.
Three thoracic mobility drills, three rounds each, finished one drill at a time before moving on. Group format lets each pattern accumulate range — open-book, cat-cow, and child-pose-with-reach.
A focused flow for the spine — flexion, extension, rotation. Asymmetric on purpose: twists held short and even side-to-side, child's pose long at the end to settle everything down.
Long, passive holds for the hips and legs — yin-style, two minutes apiece. Settle into the shape, breathe slowly, and don't chase depth; the time does the work, not effort.
Four rounds of 2:00 deep stretching with 0:30 transition between. Pick four poses before you start — one per round. Long enough to actually change tissue length; short enough to stay focused.
