Big Toe pose or Padangusthasana strengthens the hamstrings and calves. It also relieves stress and mild depression. To begin with the pose, stand tall with feet apart. Inhale and when you exhale fold your body downwards to grab your big toes. Draw the belly in and allow the head to relax down. If flexible enough, draw your torso towards the legs. Be in the pose for 5-10 breath cycles.

Head to Knee Forward Bend pose or Janu Sirsasana stretches the shoulders and groin. It reduces anxiety, controls blood pressure and alleviates insomnia.
To start with the pose, sit down on the surface with legs forward. From a seated position, bend the right knee outward at 90 degrees and press the right foot into the inner left thigh.
Now, grab the left foot and extend the torso over the straight leg. Fold forward from the groins. Next, pull left toe backward as much as you can through the heel, allowing the sit bones to press towards the surface. Be in the position for few minutes and then switch with another leg.

Triangle pose promotes cardiovascular exercise. When performed regularly, this posture improves stamina and opens the heart. To begin the pose, stand straight with feet apart on the flat surface. Turn your right foot outwards at 90 degrees and left a foot in by 15 degrees.
Inhale deeply and when you exhale, bend your body towards the right keeping the waist straight and left hand up in the air while right hands down towards the floor.
Make sure that body should bend sideways and not forward or backward. Stretch maximum and one in the pose for a minute. Repeat the same with another leg too for better results.
