Basic Techniques of Stretch Yoga

Static Stretching

This is a stretching technique performed at a fixed position for 10-30 seconds. It is the most popular and safe method, effective in improving flexibility and enhancing body mobility.

Dynamic Stretching

This technique involves more rhythmic movements compared to static stretching. It engages multiple muscle groups, significantly improving flexibility and elasticity of the muscles. This method is often used by athletes, coaches, and physical therapists.

Passive Stretching

In this technique, external aids such as body weight, straps, levers, gravity, or other stretching devices are used. The movements do not require much effort but achieve high effectiveness. During the process, it is important to stretch in a way that feels comfortable and relaxed.

Active Stretching

Active stretching in Stretch Yoga helps to relax and elongate the muscles. This technique is relatively challenging as it requires a certain force to stretch the muscles, but it is also quite safe, minimizing potential injuries by allowing control over muscle tension without external force.

Passive Static Stretching

This is a very safe and effective stretching technique when practicing Stretch Yoga. It helps to stretch the muscles optimally. When practicing, you should perform this technique for at least 20 seconds to allow the body to relax without tensing the muscles.
