Got low back tightness? You’re not alone! Grab a yoga matt and get on the floor as you follow along with this 5 minute routine that we promise you will make your back feel like a million bucks after!
The goal of this mobility routine is to introduce gentle motions into your low back to get you prepared to tackle the day. There may be some points during the exercise that you feel your back stiffness - that is normal! The goal is to work through that stiffness in a nice and controlled fashion, introducing our back to those motions. That way, when we stand up and do the same motions later, our back is warmed up and it's not so alarming!
