Reclining Bound Angle Pose: The method is to lie on your back, use a long pillow to support your body under your back, bend your knees outward, put your toes together, place your palms facing up on both sides of your body, close your eyes and breathe naturally and practice for 5 minutes.

Lying big toe pose: The method is to lie on your back, stretch your legs forward, use a strap to hook the sole of your foot and lift one leg appropriately. Hold one side for 2 minutes, for a total of 4 minutes.

Bound Angle Pose: The method is to maintain a sitting state, bend your knees, put the soles of your feet together, cross your fingers and hold the toes of your feet, inhale to stretch your spine, and when exhaling, let your upper body move forward and downward, with your head naturally drooping, maintain natural breathing, relax your shoulders, and focus on the feeling of stretching your hips and back. Practice for 2 minutes.

Single-leg seated forward bend: This movement still requires you to remain sitting, and then begin to bend the knee of your right leg until the sole of your right foot is placed on the inside of your left thigh, while keeping your left leg straight forward. If your body allows, try to hook the toes of your left foot with the fingers of both hands. If not, tie a rope around the sole of your foot. At this time, the spine should remain straight, and extend forward and downward with natural breathing. Hold for 3 to 5 minutes and then switch to the other side and continue for the same 3 to 5 minutes.

Seated forward bend with both legs extended: The method is to maintain a sitting position, stretch your legs forward, hook your toes with the fingers of both hands (if you can't hook them, you can use a rope to tie the soles of your feet instead), keep your spine straight, extend the spine forward and downward as you exhale, breathe naturally, and practice for 3 to 5 minutes.

Sitting Angle Pose: The method is to maintain a sitting position, open and stretch your legs to the sides, place your hands on the ground in front of your body, stretch your spine upward when inhaling, and lean your upper body forward and downward into the ground when exhaling. Breathe naturally and practice for 3 to 5 minutes.
