Is your lower back a little tight? Is bending over painful? Fret not – there are little things you can do everyday to help relieve discomfort. There is no need to attend an ultra expensive boutique class in order to work on flexibility! I chose a few of my favorite stretches to help you tackle tightness!
Note – please proceed with caution, and breathe well thought each stretch. Aim to hold each stretch for 30 seconds to a minute. If it is painful at any point, ease off to a range you can breathe evenly in. Then when it becomes more comfortable, increase the stretch for the remainder of time.
The first shape (seen below) establishes neutral alignment in the spine, practicing sitting up while getting the stretch in the hips—
