Cat-Cow Pose

This pose helps with spinal flexibility. All you need to do is bend backward, curving your spine, and then forward while taking deep breaths.

Spinal Stretch

Interlock your fingers, stretch your arms, close your eyes, and feel your spine. That's it and you're good!

Rabbit Stretch

Curve both your arms at the elbow and use them to support your head as you bend it forward and backward. This exercise helps with stiff shoulders.

Side Stretch

Spinal Twisting

For both side stretches and spinal twisting, you need to do this exercise on both sides (once left and once right) to help with pain and stiff body.

Happy International Day of Yoga!
