A gentle beginner's yoga routine for stiff backs

If you sit at a desk all day, your back and hips probably feel it by evening.

This routine uses six gentle stretches you can do on a rug at home, holding each for about a minute.

Move slowly and stop if anything hurts. Check with a doctor first if you have an injury.

The six stretches

1. Child's pose
2. Cat and cow
3. Low lunge, each side
4. Seated forward fold
5. Lying twist, each side
6. Legs up the wall
