Picture it, you had a rough day and you thought a good night’s sleep would be the perfect remedy but you’ve just woken up and still feel sluggish and not eager to face the day.
Before you head for that delicious cup of coffee you’ve put undue pressure on to help you take on the day, why not try these beneficial yin yoga poses which, if done regularly, are said to aid both your body and mind, helping you take on each day with the innate energy it deserves.
Tara Buzgar, a yin yoga instructor, shares three poses that can be done in the comfort of your home either on the bed or floor that will ease you into the day.
The reclining twist restores equilibrium in the nervous system and can be quite purifying. It can be performed in bed. Move both your legs either to the left or right, doing with your hands whatever you want. Give this pose some time so your back can open up. You can also move your head to the opposite shoulder which changes the stretch, but the idea is to completely relax into the pose. Nothing should be painful – you should just experience a sensation.
