Ready to trade in your stress stripes for warrior poses? Say no more! These superstar asanas are about to be your new besties:.
When sitting at your desk: With your feet flat on the floor, inhale and reach your arms overhead, lengthening your spine and neck. Exhale and fold forward, letting your torso drape over your thighs. Relax the back of your neck. Inhale to rise again. Repeat as necessary.
When standing, waiting in line: Stand in Mountain Pose (Tadasana), with your feet hip-distance apart, spine long, collarbones broad, shoulders relaxed. Let your arms rest at your sides. Clench your fists, then release, feeling the tension in your body melt away. Soften your gaze. Breathe deeply.
In your car: When you're stopped at a red light or in bumper-to-bumper traffic, do some shoulder rolls, forward and back. Take a few deep breaths.
In bed, in the morning: Lie on your back and hug your knees in to your chest. Extend your right leg along the mattress, keeping your left knee drawn in. This is Wind-Relieving Pose (Pavanamuktasana). Change sides a few times, then hug both knees in. Tuck your chin to your chest, then unroll slowly and breathe deeply to awaken your body and mind.
