1. Pelvic Tilts:

Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Gently tilt your pelvis upward, flattening your lower back against the floor. Hold for a few seconds, then release. Repeat for 10-15 reps.

2. Cat-Cow Stretch:

Position yourself on your hands and knees. Inhale, arch your back, and lift your head (cow pose). Exhale, round your back, and tuck your chin to your chest (cat pose). Flow between these poses for 5-10 rounds.

3. Child’s Pose:

Start on your hands and knees, then sit back on your heels with your arms extended. Hold this stretch for 20-30 seconds, feeling a gentle stretch in your lower back.

4. Bridge Pose:

Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat. Lift your hips toward the ceiling, creating a straight line from your knees to your shoulders. Hold for a few breaths, then lower your hips. Repeat for 10 reps.

5. Knee-to-Chest Stretch:

Lie on your back and bring one knee toward your chest, holding it with both hands. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then switch legs.

6. Hamstring Stretch:

Lie on your back and raise one leg, keeping it straight. Loop a towel or band around your foot and gently pull your leg toward you. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then switch legs.
