Showing 11 practices for Flexibility
Downward-Facing Dog
One of the most recognised yoga postures and an excellent full-body stretch. Downward Dog is both a resting pose and an active posture that builds strength and flexibility simultaneously.
Warrior II
A powerful standing pose that builds stamina, strength, and concentration. Warrior II opens the hips and chest while building heat and cultivating mental fortitude.
Triangle Pose
Triangle Pose is a full-body stretch that improves flexibility in the hips and spine, strengthens the legs, and stimulates digestion. Its open, expansive shape counteracts the contracted postures of desk work.
Seated Forward Bend
A deeply calming forward fold that stretches the entire back body — from heels to crown. Paschimottanasana is traditionally said to stoke the digestive fire and calm the nervous system.
Reclined Bound Angle Pose
A deeply restorative posture that opens the hips and groin while allowing the entire body to surrender to gravity. Excellent for hormonal balance, menstrual discomfort, and stress relief.
Camel Pose
A deep backbend that powerfully opens the chest, stretches the hip flexors, and strengthens the back. Camel is one of the most effective counter-poses to prolonged sitting.
Garland Pose (Squat)
A deep squat that opens the hips, groin, and lower back while stimulating digestion. Malasana is the natural human resting posture found in most traditional cultures — and largely lost to chair-sitting.
Half Lord of the Fishes (Seated Twist)
A powerful spinal twist that wrings out the abdominal organs, stimulates digestion, and releases tension along the entire length of the spine. Twists are among the best tools for spinal health.
Easy Pose
The classic seated meditation posture. Sukhasana opens the hips gently and provides the stable, upright seat required for pranayama and meditation practice.
Low Lunge
A powerful hip-flexor stretch that counteracts the effects of prolonged sitting. Low Lunge opens the front of the hip and thigh, improving posture and relieving lower back pain.
Standing Forward Fold
A gentle inversion that decompresses the spine, releases the hamstrings, and calms the mind by increasing blood flow to the brain. One of the safest and most accessible decompression postures.
