Well, there is a secret weapon to a calmer mind, better flexibility, and even stronger and more toned legs! Al you need is a bed and 30 seconds to spare!

You can keep your arms by your side, extend them straight up past your head, or place your hands underneath your head to cushion it. - If you decide to do this pose in the evening, please remember that you mustn’t do it immediately after a meal. - The reclining goddess pose also serves as a great warm-up for leg exercises that you can also do right in bed!
