Summary: Rather than the common format used in stretching books of detailing the science of stretching, followed by a list of exercises, this book puts the six key moves centre stage and spends most of the book explaining and refining them. The emphasis is on simplicity. There are six key move routines: two lying, one cross-legged, one all fours, one lunge-based and the final one standing. Each routine has just four variations within it. This means the reader does not have to keep switching positions. The book avoids using yoga jargon or sports science language and instead focuses on the 'feel-good' benefits of stretching. In short, the book allows us all you to stretch ourselves happy.
