Instructions: Begin by standing with your feet wide apart. Turn one foot outward and extend your arms to the sides. Hinge at your hips and reach your hand down to your shin, ankle, or the floor, while keeping your other arm extended toward the ceiling. Hold for 30 seconds, then switch sides.

Benefits: This pose stretches the hips, hamstrings, and side body, strengthens the legs, and improves balance and stability.

3. Anjaneyasana (Low Lunge)

Instructions: Begin in a standing position and step one foot back, lowering your knee to the mat. Keep your front knee at a 90-degree angle, ensuring it doesn't extend past your toes. Raise your arms overhead, with palms facing each other, and gently press your hips forward. Hold for 30 seconds, then switch sides.

Benefits: Anjaneyasana stretches the hips and thighs, strengthens the legs, and opens the chest, while improving flexibility and balance.

4. Utkatasana (Chair Pose)

7. Salamba Sirsasana (Supported Headstand)

Slowly lift your legs, bringing them overhead to form an inverted position. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then gently lower your legs back down.

Benefits: Headstand increases blood circulation to the brain, strengthens the arms and shoulders, and improves focus and balance.
