Modern people sit for a long time without exercising, which can easily lead to stiffness of the spine, and even back pain, which affects normal work and life.
Today I recommend a set of yoga sequences to you, which can effectively relax the spine and relieve back pain. It is also very effective in improving insomnia and relieving stress. It is recommended to practice every night before going to bed.
