Bridge Pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana)

Bridge Pose is a backbend that stretches the chest, neck, and spine while strengthening the back muscles. 

Fish Pose (Matsyasana)

Fish Pose is a reclining backbend that stretches the front of the body, including the throat, chest, and abdomen, and strengthens the upper back. This pose improves spinal flexibility and posture by reducing the forward hunch caused by prolonged sitting. 

Table Top Pose (Bharmanasana)

Table Top Pose lengthens the spine and aligns the body properly, preparing it for more complex movements and stretches, improving shoulder and wrist mobility, strengthening the core, and stabilizing the muscles around the spine.

Lizard Pose (Utthan Pristhasana)

Lizard Pose is a deep hip opener that works the hip flexors, hamstrings, and groins. This pose improves lower-body flexibility and mobility, making it especially useful for people who sit for long periods of time. 

Wheel Pose (Chakrasana)

Wheel Pose is an advanced backbend that stretches the entire front body, including the chest, shoulders, and hip flexors. This pose increases spinal flexibility while strengthening the back, arms, and legs.
