Standing Side Reach
Warm-Up · Move 3 of 19
Why this one
We begin by waking the whole side body. Reaching up and over lengthens the muscles between the ribs and hips, the ones that grow short and stiff from sitting.
Hold 30–45 sec
Breath, Slow, relaxed breathing
How to do it
Stand tall, feet hip-width. Reach your right arm up and bend gently over to the left, keeping your weight even in both feet. Hold a breath, return to center, and switch sides.
Keep in mind
Lengthen up and over, don’t collapse into it.
Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor, a gentle lift, never a clench, and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
