Kneel on floor. Position knees directly under hips and a few inches apart. Place hands in line with shoulders, fingers facing forward. Look straight ahead.
While inhaling, look up, lift buttocks, and descend lower back slightly.
While exhaling, look down, tuck buttocks under, lift back, and allow upper back to round upward.
Repeat 5 times. Inhale and release back downward. Exhale and lift back upward. Keep arms straight. Release, sit back on heels, widen legs, stretch spine forward between legs, and rest forehead on floor.
This pose releases lower back tension, and is excellent during back labor.
