8. Bent or Straight Leg Forward Bend

Sit on the floor and stretch your legs straight out in front of you. Keep your knees relaxed and slightly bent if this is more comfortable. Slowly bend forward stretching your arms out to grasp your feet. If you cannot reach your feet, hold on to your shins. Once you are in the pose, keep breathing to get a deeper stretch. If this pose is uncomfortable, simply lie on your back and hug your knees in to your chest, breathing long and deep.

9. Chest Opener
Stand tall and interlace your fingers together behind your back. If you can, turn your hands so they’re facing away from your body and feel the stretch through your arms and hands. Push your chest up and out as you draw your shoulder blades down and back. Hold and breathe.




10. Mountain Pose with Neck Stretch
Stand tall and gently tilt your head sideways, moving your right ear toward your right shoulder. Repeat on the opposite side.
