Posts Tagged ‘lower back release’

Last weekend I went dancing in high heels (they’re high for me) and boy did my lower back scream at me for the next few days! I have to manage my lower back anyway because I’m knocked kneed so a 2 hour stint busting funky moves on the dance floor in my heels is always going to be problematic – so too is sitting in a chair at a computer all day!

The exercises/stretches in this clip will mobilise your spine and stretch your gluteals and hamstrings which, if done mindfully and with the breath, will loosen you up in all the right places . 

I’ve done this everyday this week and today I’m back to normal which means I can hit the dance-floor again this weekend but perhaps I’ll play it smart and wear my flats!

Look after your back.

Smiler.

PS. It’s really quite funny (both peculiar and amusing) watching clips of myself doing stuff on a mat – in this clip, my  ’kinder garden teacher’ style introduction particularly tickles me…I’ll get better, I promise!!
