Even More Great Yoga Poses

Here are two more great yoga poses you can try at the home or office.

The Supported Seated Forward Bend stretches the hamstrings and inner thighs, and releases tension along the spine. It helps promotes focus, and stimulates the sixth chakra, which activates intuition and wisdom.

To do it, sit on a cushion on the floor with your legs extended on either side of a chair. Fold forward at the hips and rest your forehead and arms on the seat of the chair. Take deep, slow breaths through your nose and hold for 3 to 5 minutes.

The Supported Goddess pose releases tight hips, stretches the groin muscles, and connects you to the grounding energy of the root chakra, located at the base of your spine.

To do it, lie on your back with the bottoms of your feet touching and knees splayed to the sides resting on pillows or rolled blankets. Feel your spine on the floor. Place your palms on your belly or rest your arms out to the sides, palms up. Let your belly slowly rise and fall with each breath. Remain here for 3 to 5 minutes, or however long you like.
