Molly achieves this by positioning herself in a seated position on her mat and giving herself a hug. She recommends this particular stretch for people who are on their feet all day or do strenuous exercise and physical labor. Then she comes out of the stretch by rolling her arms forward and back. Molly shares how she starts out her stretch with a neck and head roll, as she recommends that to get the body moving. Molly looks resplendent wearing a shimmery silver tank top and grey heathered sweatpants with her long brown hair in a braid, as she stretches in her first stretching video that she filmed outdoors. Next up are arm stretches that are performed with a hug yourself motion that can be done while sitting up. Molly instructs that you have to hug it out by giving your self a big hug in order to stretch out that area between the shoulder blades. Molly advises that then you are ready for the butterfly pose to stretch out the hips. The butterfly pose involves placing your legs out one in front of the other as you lean forward.
Then you proceed to put your head all the way down to get that deep stretch and open up your hip sockets. Come out of the stretch as you slowly walk your hands back up into a sitting position and then switch out your legs and repeat the pose in order to stretch out the other hip. Molly shares that this is the least demanding stretch for your hips compared to other more strenuous stretches and is good stretch to warm up with. As Molly demonstrates the next set of stretches in a standing position, which she points out are for mobility. Standing up with your hands on your hips and your legs placed directly under your hips, lean forward while keeping your back as flat as possible and touch the mat whilst adding a rocking motion, for a deeper stretch. This position is perfect to transition into a seated squat with your hands in a namaste pose. Molly advises that since the stretch is so deep you don’t have to go down all the way. The stretch can be adjusted to your level of flexibility. Molly comes out of the squat back up into a standing position and leans in on each side.
She then sits back down again and stretches her legs out in front of her. She reaches her hands up towards the sky and leans forward to touch her feet for a classic stretch. Molly shares that this set of stretches are for increasing flexibility as she works on being more flexible. She finishes her stretch routine by lying down on her back and grabbing the opposite foot. She then sits up for a leg opening pose to stretch out her hip bones as she lifts her legs, to shake out the stretch. Molly ends her stretch routine by hugging her legs and then finishing off with a down dog yoga pose and moves slowly into a cobra pose. Finally, closing out the stretch in a child yoga pose. Molly recommends this set of stretches to nourish your body and to cool down after strenuous, physical activity.
