6 Smooth Stretches Approved By Malaika Arora For Everyday Ease

Cat and Cow Stretch

The cat-cow stretch is a gentle warm-up that enhances spinal flexibility. Begin on your hands and knees in a tabletop position. Inhale as you move into Cow Pose: arch your back, lift your chest and head, and tilt your pelvis upward. Exhale as you shift into Cat Pose: round your spine, tuck your chin to your chest, and draw your navel toward your spine. Repeat this flowing movement to ease back tension and prepare your spine for activity.

90-90 Hip Stretch
Sit with your legs bent at 90 degrees on each side, rotating your hips in opposite directions. This stretch improves hip mobility and helps relieve tightness and lower back discomfort, especially for those who sit for long periods.

Puppy Pose Stretch
Stretch your arms forward, push your hips halfway back towards your heels, and slide your palms along the floor while resting your forehead on the mat. Extend through your fingertips and draw your hips back to feel a long, relaxing stretch through your arms, shoulders, spine, and abs.

Pigeon Forward Stretch
In the Pigeon forward stretch, bring one knee forward and extend the other leg back. Fold your torso over your front leg to deeply stretch the hip and outer glute.

Cobra Stretch
Lie on your stomach and place your hands under your shoulders. Inhale as you lift your chest and torso off the floor, keeping your hips and legs down. This beginner-friendly backbend stretches the chest and abdomen, strengthens the spine, improves posture, and helps ease back pain.

Frog Stretch
The frog stretch targets the inner thighs and groin muscles. It is a deep hip-opening pose that helps increase flexibility and release tension in the hips.
