🌿 Stretch Saturday
This one looks simple, but don’t underestimate how powerful it is.
Lie on your back with one knee bent into your chest. Hold behind your thigh and slowly extend your leg towards the ceiling. Only go as far as feels comfortable. Your leg does not need to be straight. Then gently draw it a little closer to deepen the stretch.
You should feel the stretch through the back of the thigh and notice how it releases tension through your lower back. Tight hamstrings are often linked to back discomfort, so improving their flexibility can make walking, bending and standing feel easier.
Pilates focuses on length as well as strength. Flexible muscles allow better circulation and reduce unnecessary strain on joints.
Hold for 20 to 30 seconds, breathe slowly and then switch sides 💛
