Lie flat on your back on an exercise mat or blanket. Bend your legs to a ninety-degree angle and keep your feet flat on the floor. With your arms out to the side and your shoulders flat on the floor roll both of your knees together down to the floor. A gentle stretch should be felt in the lower back. Hold for 15 to 60 seconds and repeat on the opposite side.
