The Fish Pose helps combat a number of respiratory disorders since it encourages us to breathe deeply. This asana stimulates the neck, chest, shoulders, and spine, releasing tension off these areas and giving a rejuvenating stretch.
Relaxation
Fire Log Pose (Agnistambhasana)
The Fire Log Pose deeply stretches the outer hips, hamstrings, and lower back, specifically the piriformis muscles, which are often responsible for developing sciatic pain.
Extended Puppy Pose (Uttana Shishosana)
This asana is a combination of the Downward Facing Dog Pose and the Child’s Pose. It deeply stretches the spine, arms, shoulders, neck, abdomen, hips, and hamstrings, releasing tension from these areas, making us feel refreshed and re-energized.
Easy Pose (Sukhasana)
The “Easy” pose is a cross-legged seated yoga asana often used as a posture for meditations by both beginners as well as advanced level practitioners. The name can be a little misleading since sitting in this posture for long durations of time requires a certain level of flexibility and strength in the back and shoulders.
Cow Pose (Bitilasana)
Cow Pose is often practiced as the counter-pose of the Cat Pose. These two poses work towards gently loosening up the spine and releasing tension in the neck and shoulders areas.
