The Supported Fish pose stretches the shoulders, neck, and chest; improves posture and deepens breathing, countering a forward hunch. The Supported Fish Pose opens the chest and extends the thoracic spine, bringing muscles back to their natural position. This restorative pose is recommended for moms who lift and carry babies or toddlers, and helps repair the damage of bending and lifting.
How You Do It:
Roll up a thin blanket and lie on your back, resting your shoulder blades on the blanket. If your head doesn't comfortably reach the floor, place another blanket or small pillow underneath. Let your breath rise and fall naturally, and stay here for three to five minutes, or as long as you like.
The Seal Pose stretches the belly and aids digestion, restores the curve in the lower back, helps protect the spine from long hours of sitting.
How You Do It:
Lie on your stomach with your legs and feet relaxed. Then, reaching your arms forward along the floor, straighten them just enough to lift your torso into a gentle back bend.
Do not strain or force; this should be a very passive and subtle stretch. Hold for three to five breaths, then release. Repeat for one to five minutes.
