Try these simple poses to help your body fight off winter sickness:
Bridge Pose: Lie on your back and bend your knees. Then lift your hips up toward the ceiling. This opens up your chest and helps your body fight environmental toxins better. Stay like this while you take 5-8 slow breaths.
Legs Up the Wall: This is a very easy pose that helps your body detoxify. Just sit next to a wall, lie back, and put your legs up against it. Stay here for 5-10 minutes while breathing slowly. It’s very relaxing.
Forward Bend: Stand up straight, then bend forward and let your head hang down. This helps relax your mind and improve blood flow to your head. If your legs feel tight, bend your knees a little.
Child’s pose: According to ogacharya Akhil Gore, Founder RouteIn Yoga, “Sit on your heels with legs folded and stretcher arms ahead of you, placing your forehead on the floor. This creates a very relaxing feel for the entire body and also provides the extra stretch to your lower back.”
Twisting Chair: Stand with your feet together, bend your knees like you’re sitting in a chair, then turn your upper body to one side. This helps clean out your insides. Hold for 3-5 breaths, then do the other side.
Corpse Pose: Lie flat on your back with your arms and legs loose. Use a blanket if you want to stay warm. Stay here for 5-10 minutes. This helps your body take in all the good effects of your yoga.
Alternate Breathing: Use your thumb to close one nostril, breathe in through one side, and exhale from the other side. Then switch sides and continue this. This helps clear your nose and calm you down. Do this 5–10 times.
