Yoga PosesBow Pose (Dhanurasana)Dhanu means bow. The arms are used like a bow-string to pull the head, trunk and legs up together, resembling a bent bow. Bow Pose stretches the front of the shoulders, the hip flexors and the spine in a backbend.
Cat Pose (Viralasana)Beautifully named, this movement between spinal flexion and extension is very much a part of a cats everyday movement. It helps us gain cat-like suppleness in the spine.
Childs Pose (Balasana)This restful posture is very nurturing and relaxing, as well as a gentle stretch for the lower back, knees and ankles. Insert it into your yoga practice whenever you need a break.
Cobbler Pose (Baddha Konasana)Baddha means bound; Kona means angle. Also known as bound angle pose, this pose opens the hips and stretches the adductor muscles of the inner groin. With a forward fold the lower back is also stretched.
