I've been seeing a LOT of tight psoas muscles lately! This muscle attaches to your lower spine and to your thigh bone. If it's tight (sitting too much?) it pulls your lower back. It's ONE of the common causes of lower back pain! If you can stretch this regularly then your lower back may feel a lot better! (makes your tummy look a bit flatter too.) ;) Janet - The exercise show is often called a "deep Ilio-psoas stretch" This version is done on the floor. When you step one leg back - you are stretching the psoas - somewhat. So other yoga poses that will help here are: Warrior 1 & 2, triangle, lunge, pyramid pose etc. I teach psoas stretching as a CORE component of back care. I also add in to strengthen the Trans versus abdominus - which can be done during the poses above - but is not often taught (?) at least in my experience (& years yoga teacher 600 hours teacher training.) To "find this" try finding the top of your pubic bone when you are standing. Try drawing the muscle just above it - back towards your rear - then inward and upward. It may take several times/practice to really feel it. Just engage - hold 5 seconds, release. At some point - lighten your shoulders because they want to join in the party that the lower body is having. When you have a strong TA - it releases the lower back and helps hold the low low belly in - from deep inside your core. you can imagine it to be above the pubic bone towards but not including the belly button. Good luck. Number three in this video is very close to what I do for lower back relaxation. It is not as easy as it looks, but it works if you learn it.
