Stress relieving yoga poses can help you to stay calm and focused. Some of these poses are Anjaneyasana (the cat and cow pose), the supported child pose, and the dead man’s pose. To get the most out of these poses, practice them for at least 15 minutes a day.
Anjaneyasana
Anjaneyasana, also known as the crescent moon pose, is a great stress reliever and helps to improve blood circulation. It also focuses on your calming mind and improves balance and digestion. The pose can be performed in a variety of ways, but there are a few basic variations to get you started.
Cat and cow pose
The Cat and Cow pose are great postures for relieving stress and maintaining a healthy spine. These exercises are beneficial for the neck and spine because they improve coordination and flexibility. When practicing these postures, make sure to stay relaxed and mindful of your breathing. You can think of your breathing as an ocean wave, flowing down your spine.
Dead man’s pose
You can practice dead man’s pose to reduce stress. This pose is a great way to create space in the spine and release tension. You can even elevate your legs by using a chair, if you’d like. This will also help release fatigue in your calf muscles. Then, close your eyes and breathe deeply. Visualize a peaceful place where you can release stress. Try this pose for at least five minutes to feel the benefits of this relaxing pose.
Supported child’s pose
Supported child’s pose is an ideal restorative pose for relieving stress. It can be used during active yoga sessions or as a stand-alone rest. The pose lengthens the spine and back body, alleviates compression and pain in the lower back, and enhances awareness of back-body breathing. It also helps to relieve headaches, dizziness, and breathlessness.
Sphinx pose
Sphinx pose is a gentle backbend that stretches the abdomen and chest while strengthening the spine. It also opens tight spots around the spine and helps relieve back and neck pain. It also improves blood circulation and stimulates the kidneys and adrenal glands. This pose is also an excellent preparatory pose for deeper backbends, such as cobra pose.
Virbhadrasana
Virabhadrasana is a stress-relieving yoga pose that engages various body parts and strengthens the diaphragm. This pose also helps people with digestive and liver problems. Practicing Virabhadrasana will also help maintain body balance and promote mental clarity.
