These are some of my favorite relaxing yoga poses. They help you relax your mind, stimulate the spine and stretch the hips. I'll explain how to practice each pose below.

Easy pose (Sukhasana):
Sit with your back straight, legs crossed with one in front of the other, place your hands on your thighs, close your eyes if you wish, and take a deep breath in. Inhaling for the count of 3 then exhale for the count of 5. Do this 5-10 times.
Now the Cat pose (Marjaryana) & Cow Pose (Bitilasana) can be done one right after the other. These are great for the spine.
Cat pose (Marjaryana) & Cow pose (Bitilasana):
Come up to all 4, palms flat & aligned with your elbows & shoulder, back should be flat, knees aligned with your hips.
Cat pose (Marjaryana): On an exhale, slowly, lower your head down, bring your belly back & your tail bone down, and keep your shoulders away from your ears but still aligned with your shoulders bringing your tail bone down. Feel the stretch in your lower back.
Cow pose (Bitilasana): On an inhale, slowly, lift your head, look straight ahead, bring your belly down & your tail bone up and keep your shoulders away from your ears but still aligned with your shoulders & your tail bone up high.
Exhale Cat pose again. Inhale Cow pose again. Do this 4 to 5 times
When you're done come back to a flat back position for Child's pose (Balasana).
Child's pose (Balasana):
On an exhale, sit back onto your feet, lay your forehead on the mat, and bring your arms back towards your feet. Your shoulder should be away from your ears and your chest resting on your knees. Now, relax and take a few deep belly breaths in and out.
Come back to a seated position for the Butterfly pose (Badhokonasana).
Butterfly pose (Badhakonasana):
Bring both feet together and hold them tight. Take a deep breath in and when you exhale press your thighs down as far as you can without pain or strain. Do this 4 or 6 times. (Think like your thighs are the flapping wings of a butterfly)
Last pose.
Easy pose (Sukhasana) with Prayer hands mudra:
Sit with your back straight, legs crossed one in front of the other & bring your hand together in front of your chest in a prayer position. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, inhaling for the count of 3 then exhale for the count of 5. Notice how you feel and say thank you to your body for your practice today.
