Body joints are the most susceptible to pains and aches. Are you feeling frequent pains that are slowly increasing in intensity around your neck and back regions? Chances are that your daily job or daily activities are such that require heavy lifting, crouching, bending, squatting, and or staying in a position with your neck bent for over a long time. In some other cases, neck pains or back pains are caused by poor body posture. Luckily, you can get ahead of those killing pains by just practicing the easy but effective yoga postures shared in this post.

Without much ado, let’s get to it.
Cat-Cow Pose

This pose was designed to help people release tension that has build up in the neck. Just follow the step-by-step below.
- Start by placing your two hands below your shoulders while dropping your knees under your hips, all on the floor or your yoga mat
- As you inhale to fill your belly with air, lower your belly to lean toward the floor
- Allow your head to slightly drop back as you look up at the ceiling
- Slightly lower your chin while still in that position of inhalation
- Now, exhale and turn in order to look over your right shoulder
- Keep your gaze in that direction for a few moments before returning your face forward to the initial position
- Once there, move your chin toward your chest while you arch your spine
- Allow your head to drop down a bit as you remain in that position
- Move your head sideways and front and back
- Repeat for as long as your exercising schedule allows

Right here is the real thing for almost every joint. It works on the shoulders, hips, and spine in its entirety. And as expected, it’s not as easy as the previously shared cat-cow pose above. See the illustration below to get started.
- The first step, drag your right foot to the outside of your left hip
- Now, bend your left knee as you cross it over the right leg
- Allow your left foot to be rooted in your yoga mat while yet close to the right thigh
- Continue by lengthening your spine while you gently twist your upper body to the left
- Resting your left palm on the floor, let it stay behind your buttocks
- Gently take your right arm to the outward position of your left leg
- Finish this by performing neck movements forward and backward or turn your head to look over your shoulder
- Stay in that position for 2 minutes
- Repeat the same thing on your opposite side
