The gorilla stretch or gorilla pose often crops up during yoga classes, offering a deep stretch for the muscles that run down the back of the body, known as your posterior chain.
To do the gorilla stretch, simply stand on one of the best yoga mats for supporting your feet, fold forward, and place both hands, palms facing upward, beneath your feet. Bend your knees, then lift your hips to deliver a deep stretch down the back of your body.
