Relax with these Basic Yoga Moves - Page 2

2. SUPPORTED CHILD'S POSE Lower-back pain cramping your style? Curl up and check this one out:
Kneel on the floor with your knees hip-width apart. Place a cushion or rolled-up blanket in front of you. Lean forward and let your upper bod be fully supported by the cushion. (The position of your arms isn't important.) Turn your head to one side, switching to the opposite side halfway through. Close your eyes and hold for three minutes.

3. CAT POSE S-t-r-e-t-c-h your spine and you'll be fine: Kneel on your hands and knees, hands shoulder-width apart, fingers forward and spread apart. Legs should be hip-width apart. Bring your chin to your chest as you slowly round your spine up toward the ceiling. Reverse the motion of your spine, dipping it down into a U shape. Repeat six times.

4. CHILL POSE This basic no-brainer can soothe even the super-stressed. Lie flat on your back with your arms out to your sides and your legs comfortably apart. Focus on breathing deeply, letting each and every bone, muscle and joint in your entire body go loose and limp. Chill for five minutes.
