For the Gardeners: How to Stretch Before & After Your Day Outside

For the Gardeners: How to Stretch Before & After Your Day Outside

In addition to being one of our amazing LMTs, Molly-Grace Rea also operates a cut flower CSA out of her farm-home in Sherwood, OR so she’s no stranger to the work of tending a robustly growing garden throughout the summer. And if you’re a gardener yourself, you know we don’t use the word WORK lightly!

Though gardening is so rewarding and often gets us into the beneficial flow state (or, “in the zone” as some say), the day-in and day-out care for our chlorophylled kin can start to take a toll on our bodies if we’re not caring for ourselves as much as we care for our plants. Using her training and experience as a bodyworker, athlete, and professional gardener, Molly offers up some stretches that can help carry us through our gardens prolific summer months.
