Shoulder Opener
Lying on your back with the knees bent, bring the arms up and reach to grab the opposite shoulder. Close the eyes as you gently open the shoulders and relax the head and neck along the floor. Stay in the pose for 3-5 minutes.
Seated Forward Bend
Extend the legs on your mat, sitting upright. Take a deep inhale and gently begin to drape the body over the legs on the exhale. Use the breath as you inhale and extend upward, and as you exhale extend forward towards the floor. Experiment with holding this forward bend for 3-5 minutes.
