Relaxing SEATED CHAIR STRETCHES for all ages

These 17 minute seated chair stretches are great for anyone who wants a relaxing stretching session from a seated position. These stretches are appropriate for all ages. If you can't do a specific stretch, just modify the stretch to one you can do. After the 17 minute session, we'll listen to a guided 3 minute breathing session where we focus on our breath. If you want to continue to do more, you can listen to the music for the last 5 minutes and take time to think about all of the people and things you are grateful for in your life as we end this year and start a new year.

Perfect to add a nice leisurely stretch on a Sunday morning! I am grateful for YOU, Jules!

[@ImprovedHealth]

I recorded a new stretching routine today and hope to have it up on my other channel this Thursday.

[@marie-theresehayes6875]

I forgot how much I love this video. I am holding so much tension in my body right now. The mindfulness was great. Just to sit and be quiet was really what I needed. Thanks Jules.

[@ImprovedHealth]

So many of us forget to take that time to just sit and be mindful. I'm so glad to know this helped today.🫂 Reading your comment made me realize I need to take more time to be mindful as well so thank you for that, too!

[@tae_nae9833]

It is so amazing, I felt as if the 27 minutes passed in just seconds, and in the end, the time to reflect and be grateful for everything in my life made me realize what I was missing, when there is so much to say thanks FOR. There is a reason behind every birth. We are chosen to be born because God saw something special in us. Thank you so much, can't thank you enough.

[@loonielaura]

It is now Sept. 6th/23 and the heat is extreme. I did this workout this morning to substitute for your Monday posted 15 Minute HITT since I don’t have A/C. It was perfect again. I still got my body moving and the heat just helped the stretch be more flexible.

[@ImprovedHealth]

A great decision, Laura. It was definitely extreme out there today.

[@loonielaura]

@@ImprovedHealth if only this heat it could be bottled for winter. But it has been like a Caribbean getaway with out the hassle of the airport. I’m just proud of me for doing something instead of nothing. That’s unusual for me to feel that way. To anyone reading this…it never has to be perfect, but trying is the step forward.

[@vickipowers7041]

Thank you Jules, I really appreciated it !! I briefly looked on your website for longer seated stretches and didn't see any. I hope I didn't ask you this question before mmhumm lol.
