The Best Yoga for Women


Practice these 10 yoga exercises at least three times a week for optimal overall health

Garland Pose


Stretches low back, groin, hips, ankles

1. Stand with feet slightly wider that hip-width. Bring the palms of your hands together in front of your heart in prayer pose. Turn toes out slightly.

2. Deeply bend the knees, squatting down between your legs. Keeping palms together, gently press your elbows to the insides of your knees, opening up the hips. Keep the spine long, chest open. Feel tension in the lower back begin to melt away. Hold for at least 1 minute.

Why it is good for you
Drop into this squat to relieve tummy troubles like constipation and cramps.
