10 min Morning Yoga - Lower Back Stretches
Embarking on your day with a rejuvenating yoga practice can transform your morning routine, particularly for those seeking relief from lower back discomfort. Guided by Cassandra's calming expertise, you are invited to indulge in a series of gentle poses aimed addressing the typical tensions associated with extended periods of sitting.
Begin in a seated position, adjusting for comfort by kneeling or sitting cross-legged. This versatile start immediately tiered into breathing exercises that make use of gentle traction to create space in your lower back. Allowing the shoulders to expand and the chest to relax forward creates the grounding base of this practice.
Proceed to Rabbit Pose by reaching for your heels and introducing minimal forehead contact with the mat. The aim is to lightly lift the hips, elongating the spine softly, and transitioning gracefully into Child's Pose while maintaining awareness of body alignment and breathing rhythm.
Transition to Tabletop Pose for a series of Cat and Cow stretches with intentional breaths. Concentrating on the flow between a backbend and a rounded spine assists in tenderly freeing up the lumbar region as well as promoting flexibility along the vertebrae.
Returning to the mat serenely transitions into functional core exercises with Dead Bug variations. Activation is immediate as you engage abdominal muscles while extending opposing arm and leg, thus reinforcing deep core muscles paired with beneficial back anchor points.
Wrap up this brief but impactful journey by inviting each knee to surrender towards the mat in anti-sway windings that form your closing cadence. Simple directional spinal twists resonate with additional lower back easement and a rollout into the resurrected plans of your day.
As your practice draws to a reflective close, embrace Cassandra’s gentle suggestion to nurture inner intention. Selecting a keyword or theme typifies this energy reprisal model, harmonizing potentials as you unite hands and chant Om. A signature face of starting anew, congruent sacred geometry pierces cognitive refreshment.
Thank you so much everyone for doing this short morning flow with me. I hope you feel this in your lower back, focusing on hip flexibility, core strength, and twists which can truly enhance lower back health. Until next you find the mat's embrace, don't hesitate in choosing solace using today’s atmospheric breathwork.
