An aspirational and inclusive guide to reaping the feel-good benefits
of dynamic stretching. Aside from improved flexibility, these include
better posture, reduced back strain and the mental brain boost that
results from increased blood flow during movement.
Move explores dynamic stretching, or slow flowing movement. This is
the most effective way to increase joint range of motion, thereby
allowing us to move comfortably and freely, as we were born to do.
Uniquely designed to explore just six key move sequences each containing
the main planes of motion: flexion (forward bending), extension (back
bending), side bending and rotation. They can be used either as
five-minute stand-alone routines, or tagged together to form a longer
flexibility sequence as you might experience in a flow yoga class.
The emphasis is on simplicity. There are six key move routines: two
lying, one cross-legged, one all fours, one lunge-based and the final
one standing. Each routine has just four variations within it. This
means the reader does not have to keep switching positions.
The book avoids yoga jargon or sports science language and instead
focuses on the feel-good benefits of stretching. In short, the book will
allow us all to stretch ourselves happy.
