Gentlest yoga/stretching videos

May 17, 2020 3:56 PM

I am a physical wreck with limited mobility in my shoulder and neck and overall stiffness and lack of flexibility. I am looking for the very gentlest yoga/stretching videos, ideally a 30-day course. I already know I like Yoga with Adriene so if you know of something of hers that's not too ambitious, that would be ideal.

Oh, you've probably already done this but her Foundations of Yoga videos is where I recently got started as someone who is very very stiff and inflexible. I did move on to the 2015 30 Days of Yoga video and found it friendly but was glad that I started with a couple of weeks of Foundations of Yoga first. They're short too which is nice.

You might like Yoga with Adriene's seated yoga videos. This is her playlist of them.

You might also be interested in trying some self-massage. I quite like this one or this one or this one from Rachel Richards.

Or, this 5min tai chi video.

Good luck. I hope you find something that helps!

I like a yoga for chronic illness instructor called Sleepy Santosha.
