Baby Cobra

Keep the hands beneath the shoulders, inhale, press the pubic bone into the mat and draw in the belly as you allow the heart to lift off the mat. Try to get the entire spine involved in this gentle baby cobra (Bhujangasana). Keep lifting up and, as you lift up, the spine will automatically start to move back. Inhale here. Exhale, come back down to the mat. Inhale, press with the hands, lifting up into modified plank. Exhale back into child’s pose. Go through this little sequence twice more. The last time you end up in child’s pose, inhale up onto all fours.

Extended Puppy Pose

As you exhale, keep the hips above the knees, and start to walk the hands out into Anahata Asana (melting heart, also called extended puppy pose). Let the heart lower as close as you can to the mat. You can rest the forehead or the chin on the mat, or just come to the forearms — as always, wherever you are is perfect! Stay here for two good breaths, next inhale, come back to all fours, exhale sit back on the heels.

Ankle Stretch

Keeping your hands on the mat (if you like), inhale and tip backwards, letting the knees lift from the mat, stretching the fronts of the ankles. Take two deep breaths. Exhale, and come back to sitting on the knees.

Toe Stretch With Eagle

Flip the toes here and, if you can, sit back, stretching the toes and soles of the feet. If you feel stable here, bring the arms up into an eagle (Garudasana) stretch. Inhale, exhale, rest the feet. Inhale, tuck the toes once more and switch the arms (if you’re using the arms).

Downward Dog

One more inhale and come to all fours. Tuck the toes and on an exhale, come up into downward-facing dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana). Pedal the feet here, stretching the calves, hamstrings, and just letting the back decompress.
