5 Key Yoga Inversions to Erase Stress and Boost Your Mood

Child's Pose is known as a reset in between yoga flows, but it's actually one of the most basic inversions. "With your knees wide and your head to the mat, your head will be below your heart, and you will be able to get the benefits of a calming inversion," Peterson says. You'll not only relieve "text neck" by lengthening the muscles on the back of your neck, but you'll also help stretch your lats and inner thighs.

• Come to all fours with your hands on the mat and your knees shoulder-distance apart. Bring your toes to touch.
• Settle your hips toward your heels and draw your head to the mat, reaching your arms forward with your palms down on the mat.
