Kinstretch On-Demand
•
56m
Quite often when moving our limbs back behind us we become overly reliant on the spine to accommodate a lack of control and strength. Utilising the spine is fine but if it's our only option to create extension we're going to run into some problems.

Equipment:
Elevated surface
Yoga Blocks x 2
Broom or Mop Handle
Tennis Ball

This also worked on the mechanics needed to get "into" our right and left side w...
