If you have stiff hamstrings, locked up hips, and/or a rigid spine, and you’re looking for a fast, but effective, solution for full body flexibility, this video is for you.
This 15-minute sequence of poses is very simple and pragmatic. It follows key Science of Stretching principles and uses deep, passive stretches to help change your soft tissues and improve your mobility. However, it is NOT easy and should be used as a post-exercise practice, not a warm-up. Think of it as a supplement to your other activities.

ANATOMY OF STRETCHING
Your myofascial tissues (muscles and fascia) get lots of circulation and have a huge ability to grow, lengthen and transform. However, when you stretch, does it sometimes feel like you're fighting your own muscles? This is called your myotatic reflex or stretch reflex. It happens when the muscle spindles, the stretch-sensing nerves inside your muscles, signal to your spinal cord and cause your muscles to tense up to protect you from stretching too far or too fast.
To combat this, you need to slow down, hold your stretches for longer and use breathing techniques to reduce the myotatic response. In this video we’ll show you how to do both.
BEST PRACTICES
These poses should always be done after a workout, never before. This is stretching with a capital S, meaning it’s very intense and is designed to affect change in your soft tissues. If possible, do it before bed when your body has plenty of time to recover afterwards.
