Mom to Mom - Yoga

Mandy shows us how to beat stress through Yoga.

Going to show you how to beat stress and refresh your mind and body with some yoga.

Mandy williamso...: almost every single one of us suffers from some sort of anxiety or stress depending on how many kids you got at home or just what you have going on in your life.

That's why it's perfect to do yoga.

I've got my good friend amy, she's a personal trainer.

And she's got some great moves for us.

Amy, what are these yoga moves and what can they do for us?

Amy: we're going to start off in child's pose, which is a great hip opener.

We're going to hold this pose for one to two minutes.

Then we're going to go into thread the needle.

So we're going to take our right arm and thread it under our left arm.

This pose we're going to be holding for 20 to 30 seconds, and then we're going to go to the other side and held the other side for 20 to 30 seconds.

Amy: then we're going to go onto our backs and we're going to do sleeping pigeon.

So we're going to take our right leg and hold it up and cross over our left leg.

Can pull that up and we're going to hold that for 20 to 30 seconds as well.

And then we're going to cross over our other leg and hold that for 20 to 30 seconds.

Amy: we're going to end with a reclined butterfly.

So we're going to put the heels of our feet together and we're going to lay down on our backs.

And we're just going to put our right hand over our heart and our left hand over our belly.

And we're just going to lay there for another one to two minutes and just breathe.

Mandy williamso...: woo, that was fantastic.

I definitely need to stretch more.

Amy: and it only takes five minutes a day.

Who doesn't have time for that?

Mandy williamso...: we can definitely fit that in for sure.

Moms, i hope you enjoy this five minute yoga exercise and we'll see you on the next mom to mom.
