Warrior 2 pose (Virabhadrasana II)- Strengthen bones
Weight-bearing exercises like walking and jogging are great for bone health, while staying home, standing yoga poses act as an incredible alternative. When this pose is held for a minimum of five breaths, the muscles are lengthened and this pulls on bone, which may boost bone strength.
To practice: Start along with your feet together at the top of your mat or towel. Step back along with your right leg and place your right foot parallel to the rear fringe of the mat, then turn your toes slightly in. Your left heel should be in line along with your right foot’s inner arch. Bend the left knee, so that the knee is stacked on top of the ankle.
Lengthen the torso and reach both arms out at shoulder height. Look at the left finger tips and stay in this position for 5-10 breaths. Repeat with the other side as well.
Tree pose (Vrksasana)-Alleviates anxiety
There is nothing sort of a balancing posture to bring your mind into the current moment – something that's key for reducing stress.
To practice: Stand with your feet together. Focus your gaze on something not acquiring the gap, to assist with balance. Root down through your right leg and slowly lift your left foot off the ground.
Bring your left foot either to the right lower leg or your thigh (avoid placing your foot on the knee).
Bring your palms together at your heart center – keep them here or take them above your head. Target inhaling and exhaling steadily for five breaths. Release and repeat on the other side.
Legs-up-the-wall pose (Viparita Karani)-Improve sleep
Having your legs above your heart helps the circulation of both blood and lymphatic fluid round the body, but the important benefit of this pose is- it's super calming for the nervous system.
To practice: Do the same way the pose name suggests! Get it on the rear of your upper body on the bottom, and your legs up the wall. You'll place a cushion under your head and a rolled up blanket under your hips if you prefer, just confirm you are feeling fully supported.
Stay within the pose for 5-10 minutes before bed, while keeping your breathing calm and steady.
Cat-cow pose (Chakravakasana)-Ease back pain
This creates space along the lower, middle and upper spine, easing pressure on the rear.
To practice:On an inhale, tilt your tailbone up and roll your shoulders back as you soften your belly towards the mat, looking up. On an exhale, draw your belly up towards your spine and round your back towards the ceiling, tucking your tailbone under and sending your gaze towards your thighs. Repeat 10 times.
Low lunge twist (Parivrtta anjaneyasana)-Relieve constipation 
Twists are fantastic for getting the gut moving because they gently compress the abdomen.
To practice:On an inhale, lengthen through your upper body, on an exhale, bring your left elbow to the surface fringe of your right thigh and produce your palms together at the heart centre. Stay here for five breaths, lengthening with each inhale and softening into the twist on the exhales. Repeat on the alternative side. Make it easier: Bring your left to the surface of you right thigh, and place your hand on your right hip.
