This yoga asana for beginners helps to open up the hips and ease sciatica discomfort that can be made worse by sitting for long periods. The sciatic nerve starts in the lower back and runs down both leg, and sciatic nerve pain can occur when the nerve is somehow compressed. Long commutes and sitting for long periods exacerbates it.

- Sitting on the floor, bend knees and open them out to the side like a book.
- Join the soles of your feet together while sitting upright.
- Place fingertips on the floor directly behind you and lengthen up through the spine.
- You can also hold onto your ankles and hinge forward at the hips.
- You’ll give your inner thighs and groin a nice stretch, while the forward bend creates a calming, cooling effect.
