“Private yoga sessions can provide a self-care plan for someone to follow in the comfort of their own home. With a few daily postures for everyday stress and pain relief, most plans can be simple and can be done even in a time crunch,” Reinhart says.

For example, she suggests the following restorative sequence of “legs up the wall” poses for headaches or low back pain. Lay on the floor with hips 6 inches from the wall. Place both legs straight up the wall. Relax there for 5 to 10 minutes. Then place one ankle just above the opposite knee so that the legs make an upside down “4” shape against the wall. Breathe and relax there for just five breaths or for up to five minutes, then switch sides. Lastly, for additional stretching of the low back and hips, either spread legs apart or bring the soles of the feet together to make a diamond shape against the wall. Stay for as long as it feels good for your body.
