Sphinx Pose
The sphinx pose is a gentle backbend that may strengthen and lengthen the spine, which improves mobility and flexibility. It also targets the shoulders and lengthens the abdominal muscles. To start, lie on the stomach and extend both legs straight back. Turn both heels to the side and keep big toes close to each other. Next, put elbows underneath the shoulders, keep palms facing down, and place forearms on the ground. Keep muscles in the thighs, glutes, and lower back activated. Raise the head and chest while breathing in, and support the back with muscles in the lower abdomen. Lengthen the spine and inhale deeply. Stay in this posture for 60 seconds and return to the initial position. [7]
