Spine Stretch

Benefits:

  • improved spine mobility
  • improved flexibility of the back- and hamstring muscles

Method:

Sit with your legs stretched forward along the mat, slightly wider than hip-width.

Raise your arms as you inhale to prepare, then when you exhale, scoop and hollow the belly to engage your core muscles. Slightly round your back and slide/reach forward towards your toes. Inhale and slide/roll back, then exhale as you repeat the movement.

If you have tight hamstrings, you can make the movement more comfortable by sitting on a yoga block
