Want better posture and to alleviate lower back pain? Work this half-kneeling stretch into your routine. Plus, tucking your pelvis under in this way helps to deliver a much-need stretch to your hip flexors.
- Begin in a half kneeling position, with one knee on the ground, and the other bent in front of you.
- Tilt your pelvis inward like you're tucking for barre class. Taylor describes this motion as tucking an imaginary tail between your legs.
- Gently shift your weight forward to move your hips forward. You should feel a stretch in the front of your hip. Keep both hips facing forward and do not let go of the pelvic tilt.
- Hold for 30 seconds, then switch legs.
