Kurmasana (The Tortoise pose)

Sit down and stretch your legs as wide apart as you can. Inhale deeply and stretch both arms up over the head. Now bend the knees upwards slightly and bring the arms down and place them with palms downward and fingers pointing back. Slowly slide the arms beneath the knees, bringing down your head and chin touching the foreground. Then straighten the knees slowly.

Benefits: The asana not only makes your body flexible but it also rejuvenates the nervous system due to the spinal stretch.
