14 Yoga Poses That Promise Soothing Relief If You're Hunched Over a Computer All Day

LA-based yoga instructor Vinnie Salemno said he loves this deep hip-opening pose because of the stretch it brings to the hips and quads. Tight hips and hamstrings can lead to lower-back pain, he explained, so stretches like Open Lizard "can be a game changer."

• From Low Crescent Lunge, place both hands on the floor and heel-toe your front foot to the edge of the mat.
• Slowly lower your front knee to the side, so you're resting on the outside of your flexed foot. Keep your arms straight, pressing your chest forward to increase the stretch.
• If you're more flexible, place your forearms onto the mat to intensify the stretch even more.
• Hold the pose for 20-30 seconds.
