FLOW FOR FLOW

Yoga offers drug-free pain relief, studies* show. Yogi Jessica Bellofatto guides you through three poses that will soothe an aching lower back and belly muscles

RECLINING GODDESS

Sit on the floor with the soles of your feet together. Lie back, letting your knees fall to the sides (if you feel pulling in the groin or hips, place yoga blocks or pillows under your knees). Hold for 1 min.

WIDE-KNEE CHILD’S POSE

Bring your knees slightly wider than hip distance and release forward, pressing your hips towards the floor and reaching towards the front of the mat. Hold for at least 1 min.

CAT/COW

Get on all fours. Inhale and tuck your tail bone under, rounding your upper back and dropping your head. Exhale and lift your head and tail bone. Move gently between these poses five to 10 times.
