Poses
Extended Side Angle Pose stretches the entire top side of the body from the legs and hips to the side body and the arm and shoulder. This makes the pose a great hip and shoulder opener, counteracting any stiffness that you may have in your shoulders or back.
Parivrtta Trikonasana is not a forward bend but a sideways movement at the hips performed with straight arms and legs. Avoid bending your back and rounding your spine while performing a triangle pose.
Setu Bandha Sarvangasana means making a bridge by locking all the limbs. As the name suggests it is an asana that is performed by creating a bridge shape with your body using all your limbs. It is similar to the original Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana) but with a slight variation as it needs additional support..

Halasana is also known as the inverted circulation pose. In this pose, you lie on your back, placing your feet on the floor behind your head. It enhances flexibility, betters posture, and boosts digestion. This simple yet powerful pose also stimulates the thyroid gland and relieves stress.
