Ease That Aching Back With These Soothing Yoga Poses

This pose offers a deep spinal twist.

• Sit down with your legs extended in front of you. Bend your left knee and pull your heel as close as you can to your right hip.
• Now bend your right knee and place your right foot to the left of your left knee.
• Plant your right palm on the floor a few inches away from your tush. Bend your left elbow and press it firmly against your outer right thigh, increasing the twist even further.
• Enjoy this pose for five breaths. Then repeat this pose on the left side.
