what are some examples of passive stretches?
Question:
Answers:
A passive stretch implies stretches that you do without engaging muscle groups. Yoga approaches such as Hatha and Vinyasa (flow) will help you discover some of these.
But for now, you could try:
Neck turns, rolls, and hangs
Arm swings
Shoulder shrugs
Dead hangs, toe touches, seated leg stretches
Hurdler stretch for quadriceps
Lower back stretch pulling knees to chest
Runners stretch for calves and hip flexor
Ankle twists
Windmills for the trunk
Child's pose stretch in kneeling position for the tibialis and the upper back
Good luck!
