Tips for this stretch:
- Good for all on those crazy high pace days and good on lazy weekends too.
- Find a quiet corner or room.
- Position a pillow to run along your spine and on to support your head, like a T.
- You may need additional pillows or blankets as needed to feel relaxed in this position.

This stretch can be done multiple times a week depending on how much tension you are holding in your back, chest and hips. Trust yourself and allow yourself to stretch deeper each time. It takes time to build routine, let’s all try to add some stretching and relaxation back into our day to day!
