Caused by holding an ‘unnatural’ posture for long periods of time, excessive repetition of a specific set of movement patterns and a lack of movement diversity. The pace is slower than many of my other videos—increasing the length of time spent in each stretch and allowing for deeper relaxation of the body and mind.
MUSCULAR IMBALANCES AND COUNTERPOSES
- Stiff mid-back (thoracic spine)
- Tight hamstrings and groin
- Short and tight hip flexors
- Over-stretched and weak lower back
- Weak core (abs and obliques)
- Weak and tight glutes
EQUIPMENT
- Block and strap if you’re pretty tight.

TIPS
- See if you can lie completely still for the full 10 minutes at the end—it might be just what you need.
