She shared the clip with the caption, “Feeling stiff? Don’t let body tension hold you back! Perfect for anyone looking for a quick fix to stretch and release tight muscles. These poses are beginner-friendly and can be done in just 5 minutes, anytime, anywhere.”

Child Pose to Cobra Pose (5 sets, 15 reps):

To do this pose, get into Child Pose and then transition into Cobra Pose. While Child Pose opens your hips, lengthens your spine, stretches your ankles, and relaxes back muscles, Copra Pose improves posture, digestion, spine flexibility, and circulation.

Lateral Stretch Pulses (5 sets, 15 reps on each side):

Lateral Stretch Pulses open up the hips, improve spinal mobility and stretch the obliques, lats and shoulders.

Side Twists (5 sets, 15 reps on each side):

Side Twists improve balance and posture. The pose targets abdominal muscles and obliques. It also improves breathing and lung capacity

Camel Pose (5 sets, 15 reps on each side):

Camel Pose strengthens your core, lengthens the spine, and improves balance. It can also boost your mental wellbeing.

Low Lunge (5 sets, 15 reps on each side):

Low Lunge builds awareness and mental focus, relieves spinal conditions, and enhances lower body strength and flexibility. It also decreases stress and anxiety.

Puppy Pose (30 secs to 2 mins):

Puppy Pose can help alleviate neck, shoulder, and lower back pain effectively. It opens up the shoulders, stretches the arms, lats, abs and spine, and releases tension in the neck and shoulders.

Malasana Twist (5 sets, 15 reps on each side):

Malasana Twist stretches your hips and shoulders, activates your core muscles, creates stability in your spine, improves overall balance, and relieves tension throughout the body.
