Targeted Flexibility Course w/Silke and w/Frank
Thanks for joining this one month of weekly breath-based flexibility training.
Before we begin our program we invite you to test your flexibility and document your personal "before and after" mobility range. We will send you an easy-to-follow video next Tuesday. Ideally, you take a photo of yourself or note your score - just to keep you motivated beyond the course😉
Here are the fundamentals of the Science of Stretching™:
Long-hold poses are essential to turn off your stretch reflex and gently lengthen your soft tissues while disengaged
Nose-to-mouth breathing with a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio down-regulates your nervous system and allows your body to soften
Flexibility training should be done after any other type of exercise and ideally, before bed because you never want to loosen joints before a workout
You must ‘meet or beat’ your passive stretch hold times daily to incite change, otherwise, your body will naturally come out of poses before any lengthening happens
Preparation
Props: Yoga mat, belt or nonflexible strap, yoga block, or cushion.
Music: If you like and have a Spotify account you can put some music on - it will help you flow through the 60 minutes with us: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/74eHTmi92DTHNtouHn0mo7?si=d77d1c5b39cd4640
See you on the mat.
