You can repeat the sequence 2-3 times if you&#8217;d like a deeper stretch.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Static stretches and poses: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For poses that involve holding a position, such as seated pigeon pose or seated twist, try holding each pose for 3-5 breaths (or around 15-30 seconds). Repeat on the other side if necessary. You can increase the duration if you feel comfortable and want a deeper stretch.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Meditative and relaxation poses:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For practices like seated mountain pose or meditation, spend as much time as you need to achieve relaxation and mental clarity. This could range from a few minutes to a longer session, depending on your schedule and preferences.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember to listen to your body and adjust the number of repetitions and duration accordingly. It&#8217;s essential to focus on maintaining proper form and breathing throughout the practice.
