Greetings Steemians.

Hope you are doing fine.

Here's my simple yoga pose during my stay in India. Due to tight schedule and why I need to have a little stretch. It is important because stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong and healthy. We need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints.

Lotus Poses, prayer behind your back / reverse prayer
Lotus pose has the power to settle your nerves, awaken your energy and quiet your mind.

Downward-facing dog - Adho Mukha Svanasana
Deservedly one of yoga's most widely recognized yoga poses

Exhale and lift our knees away from the floor. At first keep the knees slightly bent and heels lifted away from the floor.

Cobra pose
It works all of the abdominal muscles really well. It strengthens your back and upper body areas, make you more limber, and stretches your spine making it more flexible.

Half headstand
It builds strength in the shoulders, neck and core.
This pose is considered and intermediate pose and should be definitely be performed with care and caution.

Thus, I hope I can find a comfortable version with be able to reap the benefits of glorious pose, without actually having to perform the full thing.

All the best for all yoga practitioner.

Warmly,
Ovie
