1) On a firm bed or at the floor, lie on your back. Slowly raise your knees up until they are above abdomen. When grabbing the inside of your shins, spread your knees a little. When you exhale, let your knees effortlessly fall further out to the side with gravity. Close your eyes as you focus your mind on your lower back. Feel the stretch of your inner thighs and the relaxation of your lower back. For several minutes, hold on to that position as you inhale and exhale deeply.

2) With the knees bent, slide up your feet until they are near your backside. Inhale and exhale as you flatten your lower back by gently pressing it into where you are lying down. Hold on to it for how many seconds then go back to its curled position. Repeat for about three to four times.

3) In a table, lean across and grab the far edge with both hands. With your torso on the table, your legs should be hanging from the edge. Inhale and exhale as you feel the gravity naturally pulling your legs down towards the floor. Feel it being stretched as you hold on to it for several minutes together with a slow breathing. Close your eyes and imagine the pain releasing with each exhalation.
