1. Sukhasana (Easy Seat)
Sit in a comfortable cross-legged position with your spine straight. Relax your shoulders and allow your hands to rest in your lap with your palms up. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, letting go of any stress or tension you may be holding on to.
2. Cat-Cow
Come to all fours, with your hands directly below your shoulders and your knees directly below your hips. Inhale as you arch your back, and exhale as you round your spine. Continue moving back and forth between Cat and Cow for a few breaths.
3. Child’s Pose
From Cat-Cow, move into Child’s Pose by sitting back on your heels and folding forward until your forehead rests on the floor. Allow your arms to rest alongside your body with your palms facing up. Stay here for a few breaths, letting your body relax and release any tension.
4. Downward Dog
From Child’s Pose, press into your hands and feet to lift your hips up and back into Downward Dog. Spread your fingers and toes wide and press your heels toward the floor. Hold for a few breaths, feeling the stretch in your hamstrings and calves.

From Seated Forward Bend, scoot your hips close to the wall and lie down on your back. Place your legs up the wall with your hips and lower back flush against the wall. Close your eyes and relax here for 5-10 minutes. This pose is great for relieving stress and tension, and is especially beneficial if you’re struggling with insomnia.
