Forget about sprains or back pains with this great yet simple yoga pose.
How to do:
- Start by going on the floor on the hands and knees.
- Position the knees some inches apart, and place the feet right behind the knees.
- Place the palms right under the shoulders with the fingers facing forward.
- Look downwards and focus at a point between your hands.
- Now, push the tailbone towards the back. This will stretch the spine. This position is known as the table position.
- Slowly move the knees outwards to the sides. Then align the ankles and feet with the knees in a straight line.
- Start to slide downwards while keeping the palms flat against the floor.
- Exhale and keep pushing the hips backward until a stretch is felt.
- Now, hold this position for 3 to 5 breaths.
- Come back to the table position again.
