When you’re having one of those days when you just can’t seem to shake off a bad mood or when the slightest thing makes you livid, try doing yoga.

Here are a few yoga poses to get you back into a good mood, reports people.com:

1. Wheel Pose: Open your heart

Sometimes when you’re in a bad mood, you just need to take deep breaths and oxygenate your body. Backbends are great heart-openers and they really boost your spirits. This pose will also get your heart rate up which energizes you and most importantly helps with crankiness.

2. Headstand: Go Upside Down

Headstand is another pose that you can try. It flips a switch in the brain letting all the blood flow to the head.

3. Crow pose: Challenge Yourself

One of the best ways to quit being hot-tempered is to challenge yourself. When you hold yourself in an arm balance, you gain confidence and courage. It can also help you break your pattern of negative thinking.
