So I’ve given y’all workouts these past 3 weeks, but I also want to talk about the importance of stretching. I love my yoga trapeze (only $70!), but you can also do versions of these stretches on the ground. Don’t miss the awesome Whole30 posts by my sweet friends: My Life Well Loved, Stilettos and Diapers, Life Lutzurious AND the BIG GIVEAWAY below!
- Hamstring stretch- you can either do this on the yoga trapeze or on the ground. If you don’t have the trapeze, do a half split. Hold for 30 seconds on each side, bouncing for engaged stretching.
- Abdominal stretch. Either do the above on the trapeze or a mermaid stretch. Hold for a minute and focus on your breathing.
- Hip opener and spine stretch- So you can do this all in one with the above stretch or you can do two movements on the ground- butterflys and straddle hangs.
Would love to try this type of yoga!!
work out 5 days a week
There is a studio near me that does trapeze based yoga and it has added pure joy to my practice. So much fun!!
I had no idea you could buy a yoga trapeze thing like this. It looks like an amazing way to get those stretches in.
I would love to have help toning my arms and abs.
I need to get a yoga trapeze – I bet they make stretching more effective!
I didn’t think you could do a yoga trapeze in your house these simple exercises seem really good for thevore and it’s great you’ve included pictures of how to do each exercise to.
I have never seen a yoga trapeze like this! Oooooh, that looks like so much fun! I admit I enjoy my yoga practice the most when I’m at my gym for my regular class, but I had to miss it yesterday because of the weather – you’ve got me inspired to do it at home instead even though not as fun for me as the group practice!
I feel like I’m not doing well on streching though as a blogger we needed a lot :). Amazing post, thank you for sharing!
Entered the giveaway on Insta. I wish I had a place in my house to put the trapeze. I know this would make me feel so much better. Plus if I needed to relieve some stress I am sure it would help with that as well.

I have done my yoga since I moved here. I used to enjoy the trapeze yoga, it’s so fun and free.

I entered on your insta, thank you
I can only wish I’d look that graceful attempting any of these stretches. It sounds like you have a great giveaway too.
Wow no way! That is awesome you can do those things with your body!!! I will look into these drinks!
Such a cool workout idea! I entered your IG giveaway too!
I really really want to try aerial yoga. There is so many benefits that can come from it. The stretching alone can only feel amazing I imagine.
That is definitely affordable! My chiropractor actually said I need to stretch more. Unfortunately I was in 2 car accidents (1 as a driver and the other has a pedestrian) so I have quite a bit of stiffness. Will need to check this out more! Looks like such a good alternative for plain stretching !!
Also, I wanted to let you know I entered your IG giveaway!!
They offer aerial yoga classes near me and I really should make time to go take it. I’m part of a yoga studio but we don’t offer them. You look great.
I so want to try this kind of yoga!!!! I’m going to have to find a place near me that offers this kind of yoga!
