Yoga pose stretching the back

Long hours of sitting tighten the hip flexors and close the chest, pulling the lower back into tension. These five poses do the opposite.

  • Cat–Cow: 10 breaths
  • Child's pose: 1 minute
  • Low lunge: 45 seconds each side
  • Sphinx: 1 minute
  • Supine twist: 1 minute each side

If the pain radiates down your leg or lasts longer than two weeks, see a doctor before training. GỌN's Mat Pilates class is designed for exactly this group.
