Shoulder Stand
Shoulder Stand is another inversion so it has similar benefits to Plow pose. Plus, it’s a great stretch for your neck and upper back.

How to: Lie on the floor on your back with your arms alongside your body, palms down. Bring your legs in the air towards the ceiling. Press into your hands to lift your legs over your head, coming to Plow Pose.

Clasp your hands together and try to roll your shoulder blades towards each other. Bring your hands to your lower back for support, make sure your fingers are spread wide. Slowly lift your legs to the ceiling one leg at a time. Try to get as straight as possible by walking your hands close to your shoulders. Hold for 1 to 3 minutes
