Seated Forward Bend:

A very simple but extremely effective asana is the seated forward bend. This asana stretches the entire spine, shoulders, and hamstrings. It also improves digestion, and stimulates the liver and kidneys. And guess what it soothes headache and anxiety and reduces fatigue too. To do this asana, sit upright with your legs joined and stretched in front of you. Lift your butt slowly and bend forward to touch your nose to your knees. Stretch your hand to grab your feet. If you haven’t done this before, it might seem a little difficult but the idea is to keep your knees straight and help your body stretch intensely. Go down with one exhalation and come back with an inhalation. Yoga says never push yourself into something immediately; do it rather gradually. 15 reps, 3 sets. Rest in between.

Child’s Pose:

Child’s pose stretches your hips, thighs and back. It relaxes and stretches the muscles of your entire body. Fold your knees under your butt (Vajrasana) ensuring both your big toes are touching each other. Now separate your knees as wide as your hips. Exhale and lie down between your thighs. Extend your hands above your head as far as you can and pull your gut inward. Stay there for 30 seconds while breathing normally. To come back up inhale and slowly rise. Try to keep your glutes glued to your heels. Repeat 10 counts, 3 sets.

Butterfly Pose:

Sit upright and join your soles; toes to toes and heel to heel. Pull them closer to your pelvic, the closer the better. Hold your feet and start flapping them like a butterfly. Do 30 reps. Rest release and repeat to do at least 2 sets. This is a dynamic asana and works on relaxing your aching thighs, opens up the hips and thighs improves flexibility. Good for women, especially those who are menstruating and even the pregnant one as this asana can relieve all discomfort.
