Want to Become More Bendy? Do This Yoga Sequence

Don't take your aching, tight back lying down! Fight back with the gentle yet effective power of yoga. Relief could be as simple as increasing flexibility in your spine, and this yoga sequence will help to stretch and elongate the muscles in the torso. Becoming more bendy not only eases pain, but it also improves your posture, making your tummy look trimmer. Complete these 14 poses once on the right side and then on the left. 

 

This pose will continue to open the hips as well as offer a deep spinal twist.

• From Arching Pigeon, release your left elbow to the mat in front of your right knee, palm facing down.
• Raise your right arm into the air and hold your right hip or for a deeper twist, hold onto your right toes. Actively draw your right shoulder back as you gaze over the top shoulder.
• Breathe here for five breaths.
