Downward-facing Dog
This signature yoga pose is a full body stretch that targets the large muscles in your lower back that help you stand, lift objects and support your spine.
To Do: Begin on your hands and knees in table top position, stepping your knees back so they’re slightly behind your hips. Pressing your hands firmly down into the mat and toes tucked under, lift your hips back and up toward the ceiling. Bending your knees slightly will allow your tailbone to point up more. Hold the position for 5 to 10 breaths, and repeat the pose five to seven times.
