Get The Wiggles Out – Upper Body

In today’s Get The Wiggles Out video, we explore mobility in our upper body by moving the torso in all four directions. This is a great video for beginners and for those who want to wind down their evening before bed. Grab two yoga blocks and meet me on your mat.

Our bodies are designed to move daily. When we sit for extended periods of time, our bodies become stiff and achy (e.g., low back pain, tight hip flexors). When we skip out on working out, we skip out on expelling excess energy (e.g. just like when you ‘run’ your kids). When we avoid moving for the recommended 30 minutes or more a day, our minds remain cluttered and chaotic. When we don’t exercise, we have a hard time falling asleep because of everything already mentioned.

Get the Wiggles Out was designed to tackle excess energy in the mind and body, work through aches and pains, increase range of motion, build strength, and help you sleep better. The yoga practices offered are 12-20 minutes in length so that you can get some much-needed movement in at any point throughout your day. This video series is accessible for all experience levels. I’ll release a new video on the last day of every month. Check out this playlist for the growing collection of Get The Wiggles Out videos.
