Sharon Friedman – Vigilance and Tranquility

Relaxing and letting the lower back align. If you feel tension in the lower back and are stuck at an arch down there. Try getting into a prone position on the ground with your back on the ground. Now relax your legs so they turn out (ballet talk for legs together straight and feet pointing to the sides with hips, knees and ankles together) now rotate the legs one by one inward and outward while still straight as you are slowly aligning and freeing the tensed back on the ground like an anreveling film. Advance to knees coming up and going across the othe knee and back and finish with leg straight from the hip coming to the opposite side hand now outstreatched to the side (think: the hills are alive with the sound of music) Once this is done you should have a relaxed lower back. Repeat the drill while on your stomach and enjoy how you interpet the moves by yourself.
