Relax and Renew: A Restorative Yoga Sequence

If you find quad-opening Hero's Pose too tough on your legs, then sit on a block or a rolled-up blanket for a little extra support:

• After Child's Pose, sit up on your heels, and bring your knees knees together. Separate your feet so you can sit down on the ground between them.
• Use your hands to roll your calves away from your thighs. Curl the arches of your feet around the curve of your bum so your toes are pointing behind you and slightly toward one another.
• Rest your hands on your thighs, press your palms together in front of your chest, or raise your hands overhead. Stay here for five deep breaths.
