Relax and Stretch: Yoga VR Workout Plan
This plan is for the days you want to move, breathe, and feel better without turning your living room into a war zone. Expect flexibility, joint-friendly strength, and a calmer nervous system over time.
Best for: beginners, anyone easing back into movement, or people who want low-impact recovery days that still feel productive.
This is a generic plan: pick any yoga / mobility / mindfulness-friendly VR experience you enjoy.
If a session feels like too much, scale down the duration first. Your consistency matters more than your heroics.
Beginner Plan
3 days/week
15–25 min
Low intensity
Weekly Schedule
- Monday 15–20 min gentle yoga + breath focus (mobility over difficulty).
- Wednesday 15–25 min stretching + balance (hips/hamstrings/upper back).
- Friday 10–15 min guided relaxation + 5–10 min easy stretching.
Works well with (optional)
- Supernatural — guided flow + calm coaching.
- FitXR — mobility / stretch-friendly sessions.
- TRIPP — breathing, relaxation, recovery vibes.
Progress Hint
- When this feels easy, add 5 minutes to Monday or move up to the Intermediate plan.
Intermediate Plan
3–4 days/week
20–35 min
Moderate
Weekly Schedule
- Monday 20–30 min flow yoga (smooth transitions, steady breath).
- Wednesday 25–35 min flexibility + balance (single-leg stability, spinal mobility).
- Friday 15–25 min mindfulness + long-hold stretching (down-regulate, recover).
- Optional Sunday 10–20 min “reset session” if you feel stiff or stressed.
Works well with (optional)
- Supernatural — longer flows + consistency-friendly.
- FitXR — balance/mobility sessions when you want structure.
- TRIPP — breathwork and nervous system reset.
Progress Hint
- If you’re finishing all 3 main sessions weekly, either add the Optional Sunday or increase one session by 5–10 minutes.
Advanced Plan
4 days/week
30–45 min
Higher volume
Weekly Schedule
- Monday 30–40 min power/flow yoga (controlled effort, not rushed).
- Tuesday 20–30 min balance + mobility focus (ankles/hips/thoracic spine).
- Thursday 30–40 min deep stretching + breathwork (longer holds, nervous system reset).
- Saturday 35–45 min mixed session: flow + deep stretch finish.
Works well with (optional)
- Supernatural — longer sessions + harder flows.
- TRIPP — breathwork / recovery for the “don’t get cooked” days.
Progress Hint
- Keep one day intentionally easy. “Advanced” is a volume choice, not a suffering hobby.
Warm-Up (5–10 minutes)
- Neck rolls + shoulder circles (slow, controlled)
- Cat-cow + gentle spinal waves
- Hip circles + hamstring reach
- 2 minutes of nasal breathing (set the tone)
Cool-Down (5–10 minutes)
- Seated forward fold (easy version)
- Figure-4 stretch (hips/glutes)
- Legs-up-the-wall or supported recline
- 60–90 seconds of slow breathing to finish
Additional Tips (The stuff that actually keeps you consistent)
- Breathe first, stretch second: if your breath is frantic, the session is too intense.
- Props are a flex: blocks/straps/towels help you hold form without fighting your joints.
- Track one thing: stiffness level (1–10) before and after. It keeps the “is this working?” doubt quiet.
- If you get VR dizziness: stop, drink water, fan on, and lower intensity next session.
