Bow Pose will stretch out your entire torso big-time! Beyond offering a sore core help, it's an essential pose to try if you're looking to improve your digestion.
- Lie on your belly. Bend your knees and hold onto the outside edge of your right ankle and then your left. Once you have a firm hold of each ankle, try to keep your toes together, either pointing or flexing your feet. Lift your feet up as high as you can, and shift your weight forward so you're resting on your naval instead of on your pubic bone.
- Hold for five deep breaths, and then slowly release.
- Take a few breaths on your belly, then kick up again for another Bow Pose.
