Step 2
Start with the Downward Dog Pose. Kneel on the floor with your knees directly below your hips. Place your hands on the floor in front of you so that your hands sit slightly in front of your shoulders. Curl your tows under, exhale and then slowly straighten your legs, reaching your sitting bones to the air.

Step 3
Find an open wall in your room. Clear a space at the base of the wall. Place the blanket one foot from the base of the wall. Sit on your blanket facing the wall. Lay back and straighten your legs vertically up the wall. Hold this position for three to five minutes.

Step 4
Complete the Child's Pose. Kneel on your mat with your knees slightly apart. Sit, resting your hips on your feet. Bend forward and stretch your arms out on the mat in front of you. Rest your forehead on the floor. Hold this position for one minute.

Step 5
Relax your body while doing the Corpse Pose. Lay on your back with your hands at your sides, your palms facing up and your feet just apart from one another. Close your eyes and concentrate on each body part moving from your scalp to your toes. Soften your face. Tense and then release each muscle group from your shoulders to your feet.
