Halasana
Lie on your back with your knees bent. You may want to have the back of your head facing a wall to provide support and balance, allowing enough room to stretch your legs. Take a deep breath and on exhale plant your hands into the ground and lift your legs up and over your head so that the heels of your feet are touching the wall. Stretch your legs out so that they are straight.
Stretch your arms out along the sides of your body and bend your arms at the elbows. Bring your hands up to support your back, keeping your elbows firmly in place on the ground. Feel that stretch!
Unless you feel pain or pressure, try to keep the pose for 30 seconds, than roll out slowly onto your back.
Downward Dog
This is a relatively easy pose. Stand up straight and bend forward so that your nose is touching your legs. Keeping your head down, walk your hands far enough forward so that your body is shaped like an upside down V. Hold the pose for 45 seconds. You should feel a good stretch in the back of your legs and all the way up your spine. To get out of the pose gently walk your hands back.
