Top 5 Yoga Poses You Should Do Every Day
Think of this sequence as a maintenance plan that will keep you running smoothly until you have time for a full tune-up.
Pelvic Tilts
The first few pelvic tilts will reveal any traces of low back pain and stiffness.1 Do them slowly and keep going until the movement feels fluid. After 10 to 20 reps, notice if you feel any relief in your back.
Cat-Cow Stretches
Continue warming up the back with 5 to 10 cat-cow stretches. If the movement feels familiar, it's because the pelvis is moving in essentially the same way as in the pelvic tilt.
Downward-Facing Dog
The downward-facing dog increases both flexibility and strength. It stretches your hamstrings, calves, and shoulders. It strengthens your core and arms.
Low Lunge
This low lunge move stretches your hips, including hip flexors, as well as your hamstrings and calves. It is also a strengthening move. As you step forward, it works your quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes.
Straight-Leg Lunge
The straight-leg lunge is an excellent move to stretch your hamstrings, as well as your lower back. It also strengthens your core and improves your balance, as your muscles must work to stabilize you.
