This cleansing yoga routine will help clear your head.

5. REVOLVED CHAIR

Parivrtta utkatasana

From a standing position, inhale, bend your knees and sink your hips as you raise your arms straight up and shoulder-width apart (chair pose). Now make the following adjustments, repeating on the opposite side.

6. REVOLVED CRESCENT LUNGE

From a standing position, step your left foot back, lift your heel and bend your right knee to a 90 degree angle, knee stacked above the ankle. Now, tucking your tailbone in, raise your arms straight up over your head, keeping them shoulder-width apart. Take a couple of breaths here. Bring your hands together at heart centre, lengthen your torso forward over your right leg, and twist from your mid to upper back, hooking your left elbow over your right knee. On every inhale, maintain length in your torso, and on every exhale twist deeper, constantly expanding your chest.

7. SEATED FORWARD FOLD

Paschimottanasana

Begin seated, with your legs together and extended straight out in front of you. Root into your hips and lift your chest. Keep your spine long and lean forward to grab the outer edges of your feet, or clasp your right wrist with your left hand. Inhale and extend your chest. Exhale and, without rounding your back, lengthen your torso over your legs.

8. HEAD TO KNEE

Janu sirsasana

Begin seated, with your left leg straight and your right knee bent. Bring the sole of your right foot to rest against your left inner upper thigh. Inhale and extend your spine. Exhale, spin your chest over your left knee and grab the outer edge of your left foot, or clasp your right wrist with your left hand. Inhale and extend your spine again. Exhale and fold your torso over your straight leg, bending your elbows wide and relaxing the base of your neck. Repeat on the opposite side.
