The Corpse Pose This effective yoga pose will help you feel relaxed and rejuvenated as it emphasises on total relaxation by putting the body at ease. The rested state quietens your nervous system, helps to lower blood pressure and slows down the breathing.
Lie down with your back on the floor. Place your arms by your side, with palms facing upwards. Place your legs a few inches apart.
Close your eyes and breathe deeply as you pay attention to each body part.
Stay in the position for 4 to 5 minutes.
Bridge Pose This yoga pose not only helps in dealing with fatigue and anxiety but is also great for battling headaches, backaches, insomnia and more.
Exhaling, tuck in your tummy towards your spine as you roll your spine towards the ceiling.
Drop your head towards the ground but don’t rest the chin on the chest.
Repeat a few more times.
Standing Forward Pose Highly effective in stretching thighs, hips and hamstring muscles, the standing forward pose is also very fruitful in combating fatigue, stress and even symptoms of mild depression.
Stand with your feet hip-width apart.
Exhaling, bend forward as you press your head against your knees, and you place your palms flat on the ground.
Hold the pose up to 5 to 6 breaths. Release the pose while inhaling as you come back to the standing position.
