Make A Figure Four With Your Body
This position keeps your spine in alignment while also reducing tension. To do this, sit on one foot with a knee bent upwards towards your chest while using your hands to pull the other leg into the figure four position (like tying shoes). Keep back straight as you lean slightly forward; hold for 30 seconds before switching sides. This can be done by simply crossing over the opposite ankle or even behind it, depending on how much flexibility exists within each person’s body. Repeat the procedure until there is a little discomfort.
Bend Forward & Touch Your Feet
This is a yoga pose that not only stretches the back but also improves circulation. To complete this, sit on your knees with both feet flat and keeping legs straight as you lean forward until your forehead touches toes or shins (whichever can be achieved). If it feels uncomfortable to reach all of the ways down then try going just far enough so you’re still feeling an intense stretch in the lower portion of your spine/back area. Hold for 20 seconds before doing it again; do at least five times if pain persists after standing up again, then take a break.
Lie On All Fours
This pose is also known as the cat-cow stretch and it helps to increase blood flow while stretching the spine. Begin this position by getting down on all fours with hands directly below shoulders and knees hip-width apart. As you inhale, let your belly drop towards the floor while lifting your head and tailbone up; hold for five seconds before exhaling and returning to starting position. During this entire process make sure that you’re breathing through your nose in order to keep a focus on the exercise at hand. Repeat at least five times.
Conclusion
These poses are great because they don’t require any special equipment nor do they take long periods of time to complete when compared to other methods such as exercise. Yoga has been said to help with back pain because it helps to relax the mind and body, which in turn relieves pressure from muscles. This can even be done at home by yourself or with a friend/spouse/family member that knows how to do yoga poses already!
