Yoga Poses Bound Half Lord of the Fishes (Baddha Ardha Matsyendrasana)  Baddha means bound; ardha is half, matsya is fish and indra is ruler. This deep twist with a bind is a fantastic stretch for the spine, hips, legs and shoulders. Ensure that your pelvis acts as an anchor so that your spine can lift and lengthen to its fullest capacity. Breathe deeply and avoid stiffening the body.
 Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana) A gentle backbend, Bridge Pose opens up the front of the body while strengthening the gluts and hamstrings.
 Cow Face Pose (Gomukhasana) Go means cow; mukha is face. This posture is a fairly deep stretch for the hips, legs and shoulders. Move into it slowly and ensure that you are able to breathe deeply in the final pose.
Cow Face Pose - Legs Only (Gomukhasana) Go means cow; Mukha means face. This is a deep stretch for the hips, namely the gluteus medius, maximus and minimus, as well as the piriformis.
Cross-Legged Gentle Hip Stretch This is a gentle stretch for the hips, perfect for those who find it difficult to sit on the ground with their legs crossed.
Cross-legged Hip Stretch This is a nice way to stretch the hips, moving gradually from a gentle to a deep stretch.
Dancers Pose (Natarajasana) Nata means dancer; Raja means lord or king. This beautiful pose is dedicated to Siva, Lord of the Dance, who is the fountain and source of Yoga. It is a great pose to challenge your balance, as well as stretch the front side of the body.
