In this video we're going to do some back stretches from the cross legged position. sit on the floor with your hands on your knees. Sit with your back straight and start by taking some deep breaths in and out. If this is tough for you, you can put a towel underneath your bum to raise yourself up a little bit. As you can see, you want to start by putting your chin up to the sky, stretching your chest out forwards, pushing your back forwards and then exhale and do the opposite. Bring your chin into your chest, pushing your backwards pushing your belly back transition between each of these two positions as you inhale and exhale.

Really focusing on your breathing as you're moving between positions. If you want to do this a little bit more slowly, you can do an inhale, exhale at each position instead of transitioning with the breaths. This is also a good way to do it, and it slows down the stretch, stretch a little bit. Again, breathing during this exercise is extremely important. So make sure you concentrate on your breathing as you're pushing your chest forward, chin up, or as your chin is down, pushing into your chest and your belly buttons pushing backwards. This is a great stretch that you can do for two to three minutes a day, and it's something that will really help your back and your back muscles relax and stretch out.
