7. Forward Bend

The seated Forward Bend stretches the lower back and hamstrings. This can alleviate tightness from prolonged sitting.

Sit at the edge of a chair with feet slightly wider than hip-width apart. Inhale and sit tall, then exhale while hinging forward from your hips. Rest your chest on your thighs and your hands on the floor or ankles. Hold this pose for 5-10 breaths, then slowly resume a seated pose.
