5. Forward stretches
Forward stretches calm down the body and mind. It is therefore good to do these at the end of a workout or a busy day.
For the basic forward stretch, stand in the tadasana position. Cross your arms behind you, as for the basic backward stretch. Hold each elbow in the opposite hand. Breathe out and slowly bend forward at the hips. Make sure that you keep your spine and legs straight. Only bend at your hips. Do this until your torso is parallel with the floor. Keep the position for a couple of breaths, as you feel yourself calm down. Come back up into tadasana as you breathe in.
