+ Low Lunge
Like many people, I sit in a chair for the majority of my day, so working on my hip flexors is always a great relief. The low lunge is perfect at working the hip area and feels amazing after a long day.
+ Supine Bound Angle Pose
My chest, shoulders and back hold a lot of tension, so opening up these areas with this pose is super stress relieving. I recommend lying on a pillow to really get a good open stretch.
+ Downward Dog
Another stretch to soothe sitting in a desk all day is downward dog. Your legs, back and hamstrings are stretched out, and you don't have to be an advanced yogini to be able to do this one.
+ Child's Pose
I love finishing out my routine with my all time favorite: child's pose. If you ask me to do a yoga pose off the top of my head, chances are this is the one I would choose because it is so easy and feels absolutely wonderful. It settles your body into a state of relaxation and is the perfect thing to transition into a great night of sleep.

Yes! I have been feeling pain in my back/ shoulders too! Weird. Sounds like some great yoga to relax before bedtime!
