Sleeping Swan

What you'll need: A pillow

Tip: With each pose, breathe in and out through your nose for a calming effect on the nervous system.

Targets: Neck, shoulders, back, hips, and legs

  • Sit on floor with pillow in front of you. Bend left knee, bringing sole of left foot to right inner thigh. Lift butt and extend right leg behind you.
  • Staying centered, gently hinge forward from hips, placing head on pillow. Extend arms forward, elbows slightly bent.
  • Hold for 8 to 10 breaths. Roll back up. Switch legs; repeat.
