If you spend a long time sitting at a desk, or if you lose track of how much time you scroll through your phone, this short routine is full of poses that can reduce pain and support straight poses. In this 10-minute session, you will experiment with cactus position, Superman position and cat-cow stretch.
To position the cactus, you lie on your stomach with your arms at a 90-degree angle, bending your upper back muscles toward the ceiling and to the back mat. The Superman position is done by lying on your stomach, straightening your arms, pointing out of your head, flexing your back muscles towards the ceiling and the mat. And in the cat-cow position, you move in a tabletop posture, keeping your stomach bent towards the mat while leaning your back towards the ceiling. All of these positions offer some great relief when you are stressed, sore, or really need to stretch.
