Yoga Sequence to Melt the Tension Away

Here's another calming forward bend variation. To make this pose even more relaxing, you can rest your torso on a stack of bolsters.

• Sit on the floor in a straddle position with three to four feet between your heels. Make sure your toes and knees are pointing straight up. Sit with a tall spine or slowly fold forward at your hips, pressing your belly button and chest forward to prevent your back from rounding.
• Either support the weight of your torso with your hands on your legs or feet, or rest them out in front of you. Hold for five breaths.
