Lote

Lay down a yoga mat or find a soft carpeted area for comfort.
Start on all fours on the ground. Make a tabletop with your body: Stack your hips directly above your knees and position your elbows, shoulders, and wrists in a straight line perpendicular to the ground. 
Lift your right hand up sending your gaze up with it and then follow your right hand down as you thread it beneath your left arm. 
Sink into the stretch by keeping your hips high while allowing your chest to rest on or come close to the ground. Push your hips back and up and keep some pressure in your left palm to avoid crunching your neck. 
Hold the position as long as you’d like—a few seconds up to an entire minute—and then switch sides. 
To come out, press firmly into your left palm and slowly unthread your right arm reaching back up towards the sky, the gaze can follow. Return your right hand down to the ground back in tabletop. Repeat on the left side.

Thread the needle (on all fours)

Setup: Get into a quadruped position with the knees under the hips and the hands under the shoulders with the spine in a neutral position. For the first position, place one hand on the upper back or back of the neck. Do not pull down or put pressure into neck with hand.

Action: Begin to rotate leading with the eyes, head and shoulder as far as possible down toward the hand. Then reverse the motion leading with the eyes, head and shoulder rotating upwards as far as possible. Maintain position of opposite arm with elbow extended while moving in both directions and keep the lumbar, thoracic and cervical aligned during rotation. For second position, change the hand position and place it on the low back with the palm facing up. Repeat the exercise with the hand in this position.

Return: Bring the hand back to the start position under the shoulder returning to the full quadruped position after the exercise.

Quadruped T-Spine Thoracic Rotations (15 reps each arm)

Lie on your mat on your stomach. Extend your arms out wide at shoulder level. 
Turn your head to look at your left fingers so your right ear is on the ground. 
Lift your left leg off the floor and bend the knee. 
Take the leg across the body towards your right fingers. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t make it all the way, but try to pull away from your hips and twist your spine to enhance the stretch. 
Take a deep breath at the end of the posture before you release back to the starting pose. 
Repeat on the other side.

Scorpions (5 each way)

Begin in a tall kneeling position with your knees and feet hip distance apart, toes pointing straight back, and hands clasped together and straight above your shoulders. 

Inhale and feel your chest lift, as if there were a string connecting your sternum to the ceiling.

Press down through your lower legs, draw your shoulder blades together, and lift your chest up. Shift your gaze up and back, without craning your neck. Move only as far as you can with control.

Hold for five to 10 breaths. On an inhale, return to the starting position, with control and leading from your chest.
