Mountain yoga helps you open your chest and back and fully relax your muscles. Practice: Take a comfortable standing posture, with your feet hip-width apart, hands above your head, palms forward and thumbs backward, as if gently hooking your back. Suitable for: office workers who often sit in front of the computer with backache.

Fish pose is an excellent soothing posture, releasing the pressure accumulated in the neck, throat and head, helping to expand the chest muscles and open the lungs. Exercise: Lie on your back, hook your toes and stretch your legs forward. Put your hands under your hips, support your body with your elbows and arch your back. Put your head on the ground and let your elbow bear the weight of your body. Take a deep breath and hold 15 to 30 seconds. Suitable for: tired and anxious office workers.
