| This is an exception to the flat-back rule. Note, however, that the back is arched backward, not bowed forward. Place your hands against the small of you back or behind your hips, whichever is more comfortable, and arch you back backwards, pushing your hips forward. Hold for four, then release. This is particularly useful in combination with toe touches to loosen the hips and lower back. | ||||||||||||||
