Stretch away stress and tension with Uttana Shishosana

It opens the chest and stretches the spine, neck and shoulders—perfect for counteracting bad posture and waking up the body (yep, it doubles as an awesome morning stretch). The best part? Anyone can do it! If you have sensitive knees, slip a bolster or blanket under them, and for a deeper stretch, try resting your hands on blocks.
