- Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana):
- Lengthens the spine, hamstrings, and calves.
- Strengthens the arms and shoulders.
- Start in a plank position, lift your hips, and create an inverted V shape.
- Triangle Pose (Trikonasana):
- Opens the hips, stretches the hamstrings, and strengthens the legs.
- Stand with legs wide apart, extend one arm down to the floor or a block, and reach the other arm up.
- Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana):
