When you’re wrung out, physically and mentally, your mind ad body are more willing perform stretching poses. These poses can help relax and release muscle tension caused by strength training or stress.

Muscle soreness can also be pretty uncomfortable, or even painful, after an intense workout. If you are going to meet some friends after you hit the gym, it can also be quite inconvenient. If you tend to work out a lot, you are going to be sore all the time.

By using yoga to remove soreness and tension after a workout, the chance of future injury also significantly diminishes. The below poses are designed to increases flexibility in your muscles and joints and to release stress and tension.

Child’s Pose
