Supta Matsyendrasana may ease back stiffness and constipation

Long hours of sitting and low physical activity can cause back stiffness, pain and constipation. Supta Matsyendrasana, or Supine Spinal Twist, may help improve spinal flexibility, digestion and relaxation. The yoga pose gently twists the spine and may reduce hip and back tension. Beginners or people with injuries should practice under guidance.
