Holiday Destressing Tips from Lindsay
With the holiday season in full swing, stress can easily creep in. Taking just a few minutes each day to stretch and move can release a great deal of tension. Lindsey recommends the following three Pilates poses to help bring a sense of calm.
Pigeon Pose: Begin in a deep runner's lunge. Bending the front knee, ease onto the floor with the back leg still behind the body. Bending the front knee, rotating the foot inward to a 90-degree angle. Lift the chest high, sit upright, and if comfortable, gently lean forward over the bent leg to deepen the stretch. Hold for 30 seconds to a minute, leaning into the stretch gently. Repeat on the other side.
Bridge Pose: Lie flat on your back with your legs extended and arms by your side. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor, hip width apart. Press your palms and shoulders into the ground, then press through both heels, lifting the hips high Squeeze your glutes at the top and hold for a few seconds before lowering your hips back down. Repeat several times.
Side Bend: Stand tall with feet shoulder width apart. Place both arms straight overhead, clasping the palms. Gently bend to one side until tension builds on the outside of the ribs and torso of the side body. Ease into the stretch and then, using the core muscles, return to center. Repeat that motion, slowly alternating sides as many times as needed.
