Yoga Tips: If you are troubled by body stiffness and pain, do these yoga exercises daily

Body stiffness and pain are common problems, which are often caused by wrong postures, sitting for long hours, stress, and muscle strain. Often when people wake up from sleep, there is mild pain in the body. They start limping for some time while walking. At the same time, doing desk work or sitting bent for a long time also causes stiffness and pain in the back and neck. Yoga is an effective way to avoid such a situation.

Not only does it bring flexibility to the body, but it also provides relief from pain. Here are some easy and effective yoga asanas, which can help you get rid of body stiffness and pain:

Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose)
Bhujangasana helps in making the spine flexible and provides relief from lower back pain. This posture also stretches the shoulders, chest, and stomach, which reduces body stiffness.

Method of practice
Lying on the stomach, keep both hands under the shoulders. Slowly lift the upper part of the body and bend the head backward. Stay in this position for a few seconds and then slowly come back.

Child's Pose
Balasana helps reduce stress and relieve stiffness of the spine, shoulders, and neck. This asana also provides mental peace.

How to do Balasana
Sitting on the knees, slowly bend forward and place the forehead on the ground. Stretch the hands in front or keep them beside the body. Stay in this position for a while and breathe deeply.

Downward-Facing Dog Pose
This asana stretches the whole body, which relieves muscle stiffness and pain. Adho Mukha Svanasana also helps in strengthening the hands, shoulders, back, and legs.

Method of practice
Come on both hands and knees. Keeping the hands on the ground, slowly lift the hips upwards, so that the body comes in a V shape. Stay in this position for a few seconds and then come back.

Corpse Pose

Corpse Pose is a posture that completely relaxes the body and mind. It reduces stress and muscle stiffness and transmits energy throughout the body.

Method of practice

Lie down on the back and leave the body completely loose. Close the eyes and breathe slowly and deeply. Stay in this position for 5-10 minutes.
