People of all ages can benefit from yoga's physical and mental health benefits. Yoga can also become a crucial component of your care if you're battling a disease, recovering from surgery, or managing a chronic condition. This could potentially speed up your recovery.

Here are some benefits you can get from yoga poses.

1. Malasana
   This stance, known as the yoga squat pose, offers many health benefits and is included in yoga. You are standing with your feet parallel and slightly wider than your hips will allow you to perform malasana. When the hips are lower than the knees, carefully bend the knees, and lower the pelvis. 
   
   Maintain a straight back and raise your arms in the air as if you were praying. The malasana pose eases stress in the hips and knees while stretching the lower back and groin. It also tones the stomach.
   
   
2. Awakening The Spine And Relieving Back Pain With Cat-Cow
   Get down on all fours on your mat, placing your hands below your shoulders and your knees below your hips. Spread your fingers wide and distribute your weight evenly between your hands. Take a deep breath and round your back, arching it upward as you bring your chin to your chest. 
   
   You should feel a cat-like stretch from your neck to your tailbone. Lift your head and lean back as you exhale, then lower your back to a scoop shape.
   
   Cat-Cow opens and develops flexibility of the entire spine, neck, chest, and shoulders. It also extends and awakens the spine, which helps with back discomfort. 
   
   
3. Balasana
   The child's pose can feel like a big release after a challenging yoga lesson. Balasana is a simple pose that offers a ton of health advantages. Arms should be extended forward, knees should be stretched apart with toes still in contact, and the torso should be lowered between the thighs to begin the pose. 
   
   In addition to providing complete relaxation, the child's position opens the hips, stretches the lower back and shoulders, and even aids in preventing insomnia.
