Pose of the Day

Try it for: 3 breaths

Tiny practice, big payoff: Standing Backbend. Hands on low back, lift chest first, then lean back a little—keep it gentle. 3 breaths and done. Nothing to prove.

• Make it easier: Do Upward Salute instead.
• Make it stronger: Arms overhead and gaze up (only if neck is happy).
• Props: Wall (optional)

Listen to your body. If anything hurts (sharp pain, pinching, numbness), back off or skip it. If you're working with an injury or are pregnant, check with a qualified professional.
