Stress Relief Poses
Easy Pose (Sukhasana) with Forward Bend
Adding a forward bend to this yoga pose increases the exhale, leading to the relaxation response.
Standing Forward Bend (Uttanasana) with Shoulder Opener
Not only do forward bends increase the exhalation, helping to relieve stress, they also turn us inward. Plus, with the arms behind the back, we release shoulder tension. This pose also helps to release the hamstrings, which can get bound up when you’re stuck in fight-or-flight mode.
Plow Pose (Halasana)
This yoga pose releases the neck, head, shoulders, and hamstrings. It also increases the exhale and turns us inward.
Digestion Balance Poses (Relieve Constipation)
Knee To Chest Pose
Hold this pose for 10-30 breathes and release. This yoga pose helps to push the stool along and relieve constipation.
Recline Side Bend
Move both legs over to the left side of the mat, with both arms and upper body bent toward the left, this way the whole body creates an arch. Repeat on the other side. This yoga pose stretches the intestines and relaxes them.
Lunge Pose With The Twist
This yoga pose not only improves digestion, it also stretches your spine, improves mobility and detoxifies the internal organs.
Squat Pose
This pose helps to move the stools along the large intestine and also helps relax and open up the lower back. This pose should have your body moving again in no time!
