This is a small collection of full body yoga stretch videos I tried last week – great to release tension and make you feel awesome (or at least a whole lot better)! Must try!
I mentioned last week I was going through a bit of renovation in my apartment, mainly moving furniture and reorganizing stuff. Still not ready, but I’m happy with the results this far.
And let me tell you, moving furniture is not a fun task. Especially when you’re a woman and are very impatient to get it done.
“I’ll come by later to help you move everything! Don’t worry.”
“Thanks, I’ll wait for you, I’m not going to move everything by myself, I’m not crazy!”
5 minutes later = moving dresser by myself.
Luckily I was smart enough to take out the drawers, put a small mat and just slide that huge thing into the other room. I’m really amazed at my creativity sometimes. Rarely.
A few hours of doing that, made me want and need a massage. Well, you know how I feel about massage. In case you don’t, I’ll summarize my experience for you: One time a guy did nothing and then the other time a woman made me feel beaten up the next day.

The four three things I’m losing when I decide once a year to actually go to a massage.
What’s better, cheaper, won’t take me 3 hours and will make me feel amazing?
A full body yoga stretch.
And thankfully – so many amazing videos on Youtube. Easy to follow, free, and you can do everything at home in your pajamas in around 20-45 minutes. And then you feel like a brand new person.
Morning or evening – it’s your choice when you do these.
As you might know I like to get any exercise done in the morning, but next week I want to get back into working out a few days a week, so I’ll start doing the yoga stretches in the evening. They’ll be great after a long day at the desk.
I loved all of these videos below, especially the first one – because it’s shorter, it stretched EVERYTHING and I simply adore Adriene’s comments.
You’re not getting my money any time soon, massage guy, who didn’t do anything.
So if you’re sore from working out, feel tense or stressed, try some of these yoga stretches and see how you feel! There are 7 routines for every day of the week.

So I hope you enjoy these relaxing and restoring full body yoga routines. To me it felt so good having a full week of doing stretches only haha. I might sound kinda lazy, but you really need to listen to your body and do what’s best for you each day. I couldn’t imagine doing a HIIT workout after all that stress and moving all that furniture.
If you also feel you need to just stretch it out today, do it – you have the resources.
