This sequence is to be performed straight through, with no breaks. Aim to hold poses for 10 seconds on each side of the body. Complete the sequence three times, breathing steadily throughout and exhaling deeply as you move between stretches.


Lower back
Lie on your back with legs out straight. Raise one knee, pulling it towards your chest. Hold, then repeat with the other leg.


Glute stretch
Lie on your back with your knees bent. Put your right foot on to your left knee, so that your knee is out to one side. Pull your left leg in towards you. Hold, then repeat on the other side.


Cobra
Lie face down with arms bent on the ground. Push up with them to lift your torso and gently arch your back.
