In this article, we will be discussing a 10-minute yoga-inspired stretching routine that is perfect for a quick break from work or anytime you need to release tension in your back.

Exercise #1: Child’s Pose

Start by kneeling on the ground with your knees spread apart, your toes touching. Softly lower your body onto your hips and stretch your arms in front of you, pressing them into the ground. Focus on breathing in and out deeply, allowing your back to relax in this pose.

Exercise #2: Cat and Cow Stretch

Get on your hands and knees, with your wrists positioned under your shoulders and your knees below your hips. As you inhale, arch your back and look up towards the ceiling, hold it for a few seconds. Then as you exhale, arch your back in the opposite direction by bringing your chin to your chest. Repeat this for a few breaths to loosen up your spine.

Exercise #3: Downward Facing Dog

Come to a plank position, then lift your hips towards the sky and form a V-shape with your body. Stretch your arms and legs fully, allowing your head to hang down. Take deep breaths in and out, allowing your body to sink into the pose. Make sure you walk your dog too!

Exercise #4: Cobra Stretch

Lie on your stomach with your legs straight down, toes resting on the floor. Place your hands on the ground right under your shoulders, then lift up your upper body till just below your navel. Keep your elbows close to the body and try to relax into the pose, with the gaze slightly upwards.

Exercise #5: Seated Forward Fold

Sit with your legs stretched out straight in front of you. As you inhale, reach your hands towards the sky. Then as you exhale, slowly reach forward towards your toes or as far it is comfortable for you. Try to keep your knees straight and keep your gaze in front, as you focus on your breath.
