Try her step by step:
1. Stand with your feet touching or slightly apart with your toes facing forward.
2. Bend forward from the hips and reach the top of your head toward the floor with your knees slightly bent. It's OK if your hands don't touch the floor.
3. Grasp opposite elbows and begin to sway slightly to the right, then left.
4. Breathe and feel the backs of your legs opening.
While you're swaying, "allow gravity to wash over your back like a cascading waterfall, bringing you deeper into the pose," says Tingey. Finally roll up slowly, one vertebra at a time, with the head last.

I studied Iyengar yoga for several years, and all of these poses are indeed relaxing and restorative. Supine bound angle pose (AKA supta baddha konasana) is also an excellent pose for relieving menstrual cramps. This is inspiration to to get back into some gentle yoga at home.
