Yoga poses for all joints, pelvic area

Supta Vajrasana (Sleeping Thunderbolt Pose)

Sit on your heels like in Vajrasana and move your heels outwards next to your buttocks on both sides. As you exhale, slowly lean with the support of your hands and then your elbows until you lie down on your back with your spine slightly arched.
Bring your arms over your head and hold on to your opposite elbows. Close your eyes and be as relaxed and as comfortable as possible. Stay in this position for about 10 long and deep breaths.
To release, return to the starting position in the reverse order as you assumed the final position.

Balasana (Child Pose)
Hold on to both heels. As you inhale, lengthen your spine. As you exhale, round your spine and fold forward while you bring your chin to your chest and forehead towards your knees. Relax your entire body just like how a child relaxes. As you inhale, return to the starting pose. This is one set. Do two sets.

Benefits: This posture reduces stiffness in the shoulders, increases hip flexibility and tones and massages the abdominal organs. At the same time, it also relieves stiffness in the joints and opens the chest.
Note: Do not perform this pose if you have severe back pain.
