Dive Into Canadian YouTuber Molly Rose Stretching At Home
Molly Rose is back with another stretch video on her YouTube channel. Molly reps simple yet effective stretching methods to help you unwind, as well as to keep fit. Molly demonstrates her simple stretch routine to increase flexibility and mobility, to get you going in the morning as well as to decompress at night. Molly confides that as someone who has been dancing most of her life, she suffers from hip issues for which she devised a series of stretches that focus on the hip area. The curated stretch routine works to open the hip joint and release tension.
As Molly demonstrates her favorite hip stretches, she opines on how she should just do one video on targeted hip stretches alone. All of the muscle tightness seems to concentrate on the hips. Molly shares how she prioritizes stretching now that she has taken up dancing again, to manage the pan and the soreness that comes with it. Molly commences the video with a simple warm up as she sits on her mat in butterfly position” where she rolls her neck and shoulders. Molly opines on the interconnection of the neck and shoulders wherein rolling your neck can help ease not only knotted shoulders and a tense neck, but loosen up the hip area as well. Molly advises to go slow as she eases into her stretch. Join Molly as she undulates in her black camisole and simple white cotton briefs, for self care and a nice refresh to your routine. Go slow and listen to your body to avoid injury.
The warm up portion ends with a series of shoulder rolls. Now you are ready for the deep hip stretches. Using a mat is important, so as not to injure yourself or increase hip and neck pain. On the mat, Molly sits in a butterfly position with one leg in front of her body, and the other further away. She reaches her arms in front and places them on the floor as far as they can go away from her body until she feels the stretch deep inside of her hip. Molly confides that this one of her most favorite stretches to do for her hips. As Molly leans into her stretch, she demonstrates how you do not have to keep your back straight as she holds the position for a count of eighth. When you begin to feel the stretch, you can release it. Then repeat the same stretch by alternating legs.

Then you are ready for a deeper stretch and the yoga pose called the “pigeon stretch,” which essentially is a lunge stretch position. She places one leg down on the mat and the other bent at the knee and stretched out on the mat, in the aforementioned pigeon pose. Then alternate legs and go as deep as you want to go for the stretch. Next up are two more hip stretches. The first hip stretch is Molly’s favorite and is her go to stretch. Keeping her back flat as she lays down on the mat, and pulling in her stomach in to ensure a deeper stretch, Molly alternates extending and then bending her legs at the knee, as she holds each leg in position. She slowly comes out of this stretch to perform some hip circles to remove tension. Rounding out her hip stretch routine is Molly’s number one favorite stretch, which she confides is a staple in many yoga classes. The classic “child’s pose” in yoga can be tweaked until you find your level of comfort. Slowly come out of the stretch with a “down ward dog” yoga stretch to get everything into alignment. Let Molly be your guide for simple stretches that can be done any time and anywhere, to prioritize self care.
