The Plow Pose
This pose can help to stretch the back and the shoulder area. Begin by lying on your back with your arms at your sides. Now use your abs and the strength of your arms to lift your legs over your head so that your toes touch the floor behind your head. Your hips should be directly over your shoulders. Straighten your arms and join your hands on the floor behind your back. Hold for 30 seconds. Roll your spine back onto the floor slowly, followed by your legs.

The Lizard Pose
The lizard pose can help to stretch the hips, the thighs and the hamstrings. Start by placing your palms, your elbows and your knees on the floor. Keep your arms shoulders width apart. Bend your knee and bring your right foot and place it on the outside of your right elbow. Straighten your left leg and be sure that your body is parallel to the floor. Hold for 30 seconds. Now come back to the original position and switch legs and repeat if needed.
