About This Video

In this guided activity video, yoga teacher Rachel leads viewers through a series of standing stretches focused on the hips, legs, and overall mobility. The session includes breathing exercises, standing balance work, hip circles, side stretches, and gentle movements that can help loosen tight or tired muscles.

All of the stretches are performed while standing. Rachel demonstrates how to use a chair or wall for support during balance activities and encourages participants to work within their own comfort level and range of motion.

How to Use This Video

This video is designed as a follow-along stretching activity and works well as a morning warm-up, movement break, wellness activity, or gentle exercise session. Participants can use a chair or wall for support as needed.

After watching, caregivers can ask questions like:

• Which stretch felt best for your body?

• Did you notice any muscles feeling more relaxed afterward?

• When might a standing stretching routine be helpful during your day?

This video includes stretching, balance activities, and standing movement. Participants should move at their own pace, use stable support when needed, and seek caregiver assistance or modifications as appropriate.
