Sometimes the tension builds up in the morning, and the body feels stiff and tight, which directly affects your mood. This short, pleasant complex will help you stretch your muscles, relax and tune in to a positive mood.

You can do it at any time of the day: in between work, if possible, upon returning home, or right before bed.

The complex includes eight asanas:

  1. Seated forward bend - bend your knees slightly and pull your stomach to your hips, try to keep your back straight and stretch your spine, do not strain your neck.
  2. Tied Angle Pose - Grab your feet and push your hips towards the floor.
  3. Downward Dog Pose - Leave your knees slightly bent, straighten your back, pull your chest towards your hips.
  4. Stretching puppy pose - pull your chest to the floor, you can leave your arms outstretched forward or tuck it behind your head, as in the video.
  5. Eyelet Pose - Keep your arm extended upward or behind your back, concentrating on deep breathing.
  6. Child Pose - Place your hips wider and place your body between them.
  7. Bipedal Table Pose - Place your feet hip-width apart or slightly wider, pull your chest and hips towards the ceiling.
  8. Happy Child Pose - Keep your knees close to your armpits and your feet above them.
  9. Bound Angle Pose - Connect your feet, spread your knees wide, put your hands behind your head or spread out to the sides. This position is designed to rest and relax, so you can use rolled-up blankets under your back and knees for comfort.

Spend six breathing cycles in each position - inhalation and exhalation. Work in a comfortable range of motion, breathe calmly, and concentrate on your body.
