Welcome to your 5 minute stretch routine!

This routine is designed to help you find balance, rejuvenate your body, and bring a sense of calm to your day. Find a quiet space where you can move freely and comfortably. And lets begin :)

1. Pigeon Pose: Start in a high plank position, bring your right knee forward, placing it behind your right wrist. Extend your left leg straight behind you. Slowly lower your upper body down, resting on your forearms or all the way down to the ground. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then switch sides.

2. Figure Four Stretch: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Cross your right ankle over your left knee, forming a figure four shape. Reach through the gap between your legs and interlace your hands behind your left thigh, pulling your left leg towards your chest. Hold for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then switch sides.

3. Seated Forward Fold: Sit on the ground with your legs extended in front of you. Slowly hinge forward at the hips, reaching your hands towards your feet. If you can't reach your feet, you can use a yoga strap or towel looped around your feet to help. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds to 1 minute, focusing on feeling the stretch in your glutes.

4. Lunge with a Twist: Start in a lunge position with your right leg forward and your left leg extended behind you. Place your right hand on the ground or on a block for support. Twist your upper body to the right, reaching your left arm up towards the ceiling. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then switch sides.

5. Standing Glute Stretch: Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart. Lift your right leg and place your right ankle on top of your left knee. Slowly sit back into a squat position, keeping your chest lifted and your back straight. You should feel a stretch in your right glute. Hold for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then switch sides.

Remember to breathe deeply and listen to your body while performing these stretches.
