Yoga: it balances your chakras, quiets your mind, and sculpts your body to near perfection. But perhaps best of all, it makes you super bendy! Not only do you stretch your body into positions you didn’t even know possible, you do it all while being conscious of your breathing. Perhaps now is the time to bring your yoga moves from the mat to the bed. For those of us who have shared our twin sized dorm mattress with someone special, we know how helpful a yoga move or two can be. Here are the top 7 yoga positions to try now!
1. Downward-facing Dog Source
This is doggy style like you’ve never seen it before. For a little variety, extend one leg up towards the sky for downward facing dog split.
2. Cow Pose Source
This is like the doggy style you’ve come to know and love, but now we’re calling it cow.
3. Cobra Pose Source
Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Hint: Use your head!
4. Happy Baby Source
Happy baby definitely equates to a happy lady.
5. Side Plank Source
Benefit of this position: when you finish you’re arms are guaranteed to have definition
6. Plow Pose Source
Not only is this a great stretch for the lower back, it’s called plow pose. Really, plow pose. Does it get much better than that?
7. Crow Pose Source
Props to you if you can actually balance in this position, infinite props if you can actually perform like this.
Bonus: Corpse pose
This will usually conclude your yoga sequence. This is where you lie flat on your back, catch a few breaths, and decide whether you’ll make your own sandwich or call Jimmy John’s for delivery.
Now aren’t you glad you have a closet full of yoga pants?!
