Got 15 minutes? These four easy yoga poses to do at home are quick to learn and sure to benefit your mind and body.

Chair pose

How to do it:

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, pointing forward. Take a deep breath in and raise your arms straight up over your head.

2. Push your shoulders down and away from your ears. Then, bend at your hips and lower yourself, as if sitting in a chair. Go as low as you feel comfortable. Lengthen through your spine, and breathe deeply. Try to hold this pose for six to eight breaths. Return to standing. Repeat.

Forward bend

How to do it:

1. From the chair pose, reach your hands up to the ceiling and return to standing. Breathe out, bend at your hips and lower your head as far toward the floor as possible.

2. Cross your forearms and hold your elbows. Let your head hang and relax. Breathe in, lengthening the front of your body; as you breath out, reach your hips toward the ceiling. Hold for eight breaths, then place your hands on your hips and, with a flat back, come back to standing. Repeat.
