Mila’s Stress Release and Flexibility Yoga Routine

Finding ways to de-stress is absolutely vital in the fast-paced world of today, and yoga has turned out to be her solution. “Yoga ground me,” she says.

“It’s about mental balance as much as physical flexibility.” Every day yoga helps Mila relax and increases strength and flexibility.

1. Child’s Pose (2 minutes)


Beginning her practice in child’s pose helps Mila set her intention for the session and enable deep breathing. “It’s a terrific approach to quiet the mind,” she explains. Long days of sitting or standing release tension by helping to stretch the hips and lower back in this restoring pose.

2. Cat-Cow Stretch (5 cycles)


Mila then wakes the spine by entering a cat-cow stretch. “This is the best approach to let tightness in my back go,” she says. Mila works on matching her motions with her breath while she alternately arching and rounding the spine, therefore fostering both flexibility and relaxation.

3. Downward Dog (1 minute)


Mila loves down dog for whole body stretching. “It’s fantastic for opening the shoulders and lengthening the hamstrings,” she says. She holds this position for around a minute, inhales deeply, concentrating on lengthening her spine.

4. Warrior II (30 seconds per side)


Mila uses Warrior II to help with balance and develop her legs. While increasing endurance, this robust, upright position stretches the hips. “It’s a fantastic approach to feel strong and present,” Mila notes.

5. Seated Forward Bend (1 minute)


Mila carefully stretches her hamstrings and lower back in a seated forward bend to finish her program. “This is my go-to posture for relaxing,” she says. “Weaving down calls for this.” “It helps me finish my practice on a peaceful note and release any last stress.”
