A good way to increase your practice, though, is to add the Stretch habit to your routines more than once a day &#8211; just to remind you to stretch after sitting at a desk, before meals, at bedtime, etc. Before you know it you&#39;ll feel the benefits! And a great next step after that is to try just one easy yoga pose once a day. And so on, until you look forward to the relaxing stretching times. That&#39;s worked great for me.

You should keep the position for more than just a few seconds. Just make sure you don\u2019t reach the position too quickly or you may experience stretch reflex. Get slowly to the position to the point that you feel the muscles are stretching but it\u2019s not hurting and then keep the position for a little while to begin with; then you can increase the amount of time that you spend stretching.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cindy Y.
