Bird Dog Balance position

This position strengthens your spine. Begin on your hands and knees, like a table. Stretch your right leg back and line it up with your hips. Raise out your left hand, so that you’re balancing on two limbs diagonal from each other. Straighten your back as you stretch to engage your core. Hold for 9 breathes. Then, switch sides.

Dolphin position

This position helps to strengthen your shoulders and condition them against long term pain. Begin in a forearm plank, and interlock your fingers. Begin moving your feet towards your hands. Stop and hold once you’ve gone as far as you can. Flatten your heels, as this will stretch your hamstrings. Make sure your elbows stay shoulder-width apart. Hold for 9 breaths and rest in child pose.

Half Locust position

This position strengthens your glutes and hamstrings. Lay flat on the ground with your arms crossed at your head. Rest your forehead on your arm and point your legs back. Pull in your navel and lift one of your legs off the ground as high as you can without it becoming uncomfortable. Keep your body still, don’t lift it to help lift your leg. Do this as slow as you can. Hold for 5 breaths and switch legs. Repeat this 10 times. This can relieve lower back and knee pain.
