Spine Backbend Stretch

Expert Advice

Move into the stretch slowly and only go as far as comfortable to avoid straining your back.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Kneel on the floor with your knees hip-width apart.
  2. Place your hands on your lower back or on your heels if you can reach comfortably.
  3. Gently arch your spine, pushing your hips forward and lifting your chest towards the ceiling.
  4. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, then carefully return to the starting position.
