5 Effective yoga poses for lower back

#3 Extended Puppy Pose

The exercise not only stretches the spine but also works on the deltoid muscles found in the shoulders.

Instructions:

Step 1: Sit on the ground using your knees with a straight back. Rest your body on the knees and the toes.

Step 2: Bend forward without raising your knees until your chin touches the floor. Fully extend your arms until they are parallel to the body while ensuring that the thighs are perpendicular to the floor.

Step 3: Hold the position for one minute and return to the initial position.

Repeat the stretch for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Do not rush through the pose and focus on a smooth and controlled motion.
