There’s nothing quite like the magic of travel. We like to travel for a lot of reasons: Assessing different civilizations, having a rest from our inbox, and actually, relaxing a-little are only a few. But travel also undoubtedly takes you out of your comfort zone. You’re in a strange bed, without your kitchen to cook. The first leg of your traveling journey often leaves you trapped in cars for long hours, or stuck in planes or trains with little leg-room. And then before we know it—despite the incredible new experiences we’re having, and breathtaking vistas we’re taking in—our shoulders are locked with tension from carrying around heavy bags and sleeping on less than desirable pillows, and our hips are so tight we practically need to oil them. The solution? Yoga, yes yoga, The yoga poses which I have mentioned below will do wonders to relieve any mental anxiety or physical stiffness you might be struggling with during this hectic time. 

So without any further due let’s see top yoga poses for a traveler to  keep your body healthy and fit during the journeys
