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.
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 Face Pose (Gomukhasana)
Cow Face Pose stretches the arms, shoulders, chest, and triceps and at the same time, it activates various muscle groups in the legs as well.
Bound Angle Pose (Baddha Konasana)
A grounding pose that works toward activating the Mooladhara or the Root Chakra. Baddha Konasana (Baddhakoṇāsana) is an effective hip-opening asana that stimulates the pelvic region along with the spine, hamstrings, knees, and ankles.
