Cat/Cows and Cat
Added 2020-03-04 18:27:08 +0000 UTCAnother simple stretch for your back are Cat/Cows where you fill your belly with your breath and arch your back downwards as much as you can and then blow all the air out and arch upwards as much as you can.
It’s funny how Beans is so aloof most of the time but when I’m doing yoga she’s ALWAYS like HEY MOM! WHAT R U DOIN? PET ME MOM!
Anyway. Here is that LINK of the yoga video I’m using on YouTube. (Same one as yesterday)

Your lumbar range of motion isn't really too bad. See how your upper back bends more in cat pose, but less in cow pose. If you work on bending back more from your upper back (thoracic extension) that will help loosen your low back and improve your cow pose substantially. Here's a good article, https://www.nutritiousmovement.com/rua-rib-thruster/ Katy Bowman is a legit Biomechanist, her book Move Your DNA is a must read.

2020-03-04 18:48:29 +0000 UTCi remember imitating Bruce Lee who did this allot, i was even flexible enough to stretch my shoulder blades like a cat but this pose helps very. i even enjoy slow up thrusts, it with the dexterity how your hips and helps stable the flexibility with your legs and hips which is hella serious for kickers, dancers, and rubber guard practitioners. 👌🏾
2020-03-04 18:47:52 +0000 UTCYour lower back could be tight due to your psoas muscle being tight too. I used to have the same thing. The psoas connects your hip flexors to the lower back. I been using this thing called a psorite to release the psoas for about a month now and my back feels amazing.
2020-03-04 18:47:07 +0000 UTCThis experiment is actually really great because I can see how much work I need on my Cow pose. My lower back is super tight and I’d very much like to loosen that shit up and achieve a deeper arch cause it’s sexy and it feels good.
