HW: Morning Yoga Energizer
Low lunge with spinal twist.
Begin in a forward low lunge with one knee bent at 90 degrees and the other on the floor. Make sure your knee stays directly above the ankle to protect it from strain. Breathe in and lengthen the spine, bring your hands to prayer at the heart. As you exhale turn your torso towards the high knee until you can place the opposite elbow on the side of the knee farthest away. In this position you can use leverage between your elbow and knee to help you go deeper into this lower back stretch. Breathing deeply in this stretch try and sink your hips low to open the hips in this position as well. This pose helps relieve tight hips and lower back pain from sitting at a desk for too long as well as help ease pain from sports .
