Happy baby pose

Ananda Balasana, a.k.a. Happy Baby is my go-to pose to relieve low back and upper glute strain. Flattening back to the ground will add length to lumbar spine and hamstring attachments at the pelvis. Especially helpful for those of us with a lordotic curve (slight forward tilt of lumbar spine).

Remain stationary or gently rock side to side, keeping your sacrum on the ground.

To modify, hold bent knees.

For a nice inner thigh stretch, grab ahold of the outside of your feet in a stradle position.

Grounding.

Great before bed.

As always, do what Your body is asking for.
