1. Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose):

To perform this yoga pose, you have to lie on your back first. You have to fold your knees and keep your feet and hip distance apart, making sure that your knees and ankles are in a straight line. With your palms facing down, keep your arms beside the body. Roll in your shoulders and touch your chest with the chin, without bringing your chin down. Inhale gently during the whole procedure and you must support the weight of your body with your arms, feet, and shoulders.
