Wide-Legged Forward Bend

Tight hamstrings and hips can aggravate low back pain, so try this standing pose that uses gravity to deepen the stretch. To feel this more in your lower back, bend your knees slightly.

Stand with three to four feet between your toes, with your heels pointing away from you. Take a breath in and, as you exhale, slowly bend forward, folding at your hips.
In this variation of Wide-Legged Forward Bend, hold on to opposite elbows and allow your torso to hang. Try to shift your weight forward into your toes, holding here for five deep breaths.
