You need this, believe me
By erinmotz Functional Flexibility

Does your upper back feel tight ALL THE TIME? If it does, I got your back (pun intended!). Do this quick five-minute stretch and you’ll be feeling better in no time: 

  • Lie down and cross the arms over each other in front of you  — relax the head down. Hold for 6-8 breaths and then cross the arms the other way around. 
  • Next, take the left knee forward, lift the left arm, and reach it open, then bring it back down. Repeat this 6-8 times and then switch to the other side. 

You should be feeling a lot better after this quick routine. If you want to maintain this feeling in your back you’re gonna need to add a flexibility movement routine. But for now, this should help a lot.

Homework: Try this once you have 6 minutes today and let me know how you feel after.

I'm Erin, I’ve been teaching yoga for almost 20 years and have been featured in countless publications for making yoga more accessible and focused on YOU, the person, and not the image of a "perfect yogi."

I'm also certified personal trainer and a lifelong student of the human body. I’ve seen thousands of students go from being in constant pain to being able to move freely and feel good in their bodies. It’s one of my favorite things to watch. That's why it's become my mission to see as many people as possible feel those same results and ultimately feel 10 years younger. I know it's possible and I know you can do this.
