Across the Belly Stretch

I pretty much exhausted the yoga page that I was using to add a bunch of stretches to my daily yoga routines.

It was a vast resource and I'm glad to have gotten so many great poses from it!

Now I am on to a new website and new database of poses, this one is exciting as well!

This stretch is what they call a "Belly Twist" and it is a great one for my lower back:

As soon as I rolled my knees over and they touched the ground, I felt an immediate stretch throughout my lower back and let me tell you, the pain relief was amazing!

It's a little discomforting at first, but I slowly lowered my knees further and further and felt a great deal of relief.

I did this for about 2 minutes on each side and then took a short break before getting into the rest of my routine.

This will make a great addition to both my A and B class routines. I'll probably stick it in the A category for now.

I'm adding so many stretches that I may have to go ahead and make a C class soon. We'll see about that soon!
