Post Workout Yoga Poses/Stretches

Hey travel fam! This week we’re working on our mobility and stretching it out. These poses are so great post workout, or whenever you need to give your body a little extra TLC!

It’s so imperative to stretch not only before your workout, but after too in order to help your muscles relax and recover quicker, increase mobility in your joints and improve your posture.

Try some of our fav yoga poses that we like to do and hold each pose for :30-:60. Really focus on lengthening and relaxing those tired or tight muscles with your breath work. We also included the benefits relating to each stretch below & in the photos!! Happy posing 😎✌🏼
