ENJOY BENEFITS OF YOGA • Between navigating the pandemic and all the other stressors in your life, reducing stress levels is something that should be a priority.

CHILD POSE WITH BOLSTER SUPPORT • The supported child pose will keep you feeling relaxed and also may relieve tension and stiffness in your lower back. • For this pose, you can use either blanket or yoga bolster or even both. • By keeping the bolster parallel to the floor, you can support your torso for your comfort.
LYING DOWN BUTTERFLY POSE • This posture releases tension from your lower back. Lie down on a bolster or with a couple of pillows or a folded blanket. • Pay attention to your body and your breathing and you may feel your stress dissolve.
SUPPORTED BRIDGE POSE • This posture is similar to a butterfly pose. Instead of just lying down, add a bolster/block under the lower back. • This is a great resting pose. While is best done with extreme focus, this posture can be done casually as well.

EASY POSE • Meditative easy posture always soothing of the mind and gives a relaxed feeling. • Sitting on a firm blanket, stretch out the legs, hands on the knees to stay focused
LEGS UP THE WALL POSE • Legs up Wall Pose brings instant stress relief to your legs. • While it may take a little bit of practices, it is shown to release pressure from your legs and feet.
