This short yoga stretch practice targets hips and lower back – the body parts that often get tight from sitting all day. This gentle stretch routine helps to release tightness and tension in the hips and lower back and can even help prevent lower back pain.
This is supine practice – all poses are done lying on the back – so you can easily do them without a yoga mat, on the carpet or towel. You can even try doing these stretches in your bed! I personally prefer my back to be totally flat on the floor, but some of my students enjoy doing these poses in bed too 🙂

Loves that Uliana thanks you ❤
Thank you Uliana! I like your class today. ❤
I love this sequence and its fitting for short a practise during the summer heat in Abq. NM. Thanks Uliana for always inventing new ways to keep my hips and lower back healthy. Namaste and all best wishes.
❤❤❤
Uliana. This is my first time. Feels good. Thanks. Keep up the good work 👍🏾
I came back to this practise this AM and my back/hops said WOW,THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO US. And, thank you Uliana for sharing your expertise in yoga and asanas that help create space in these tight areas. Namaste.
Excellent short yoga practise for stiff hips and lower back. Many thanks Uliana for keeping us feeling a bit younger than our age💚🌻.

Love this so much, deep but comfortable stretches through the hips and low back, and with a soothing tone and pace that also makes it wonderfully relaxing 😌
Thank You! 🙌🏼
💛
I found your videos some time ago and keep practicing with you. It's so relaxing! And you really saved my back, thanks!
I did this in the evening, it was nice, thank you
Just what my hips needed for a gentle release and nice moment of breath at the end of the day!
Thank you pretty Uliana – it was a pleasure starting my day with you! Gene
Thanks
Love it
It's great after a long walk or a tredmile run❤
Very nice
was amazing 😻 thank you 😊
this made me feel so good! Happy to discover your channel right now 🥰
I have watched a number of hip stretch videos and appreciate that you have quite a few unique ways of doing it which makes watching your videos enjoyable because of the variety. Well done
Repeated this one today. All but one of the positions pose no challenge, but my happy-baby and half happy-baby… arent’t so happy. Combination of shorter arms and limited leg flexibility make this pose very awkward, where i either have to hold the inside of the foot or my arms end up between my legs, rather than out. Which compromise you recommend for better stretch (i dont mind a bit of pain)?
Thanks Uliana for today’s practice, which serendipitously (a word i love, which comes from… the island i’m currently traveling in) appeared on my youtube suggestions this morning, after an extenssive hiking day yesterday. Still no matt… but i layered a few towels on the floor 🙂
Namaste.
A really beautiful practice. I had a very sore lower back, so this was a welcome practice. 🙏
Simple, quick, but still relaxing. Nicely done.
Hello! Thank you for the awesome Yoga class. So nicely done ✔. Mark Bensette Aux Bois 🇨🇦.

Loved this sequence of movements Uliana and your channel. With gratitude, Andy

This was such a nice practice for this morning. I was feeling very angry and low, and this alleviated everything a little bit. Thank you
Oh yes, this is definitely something for me. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much! I did these moves along with you and felt so much better! I just subbed! You are a joy to follow! Namasté 🙏🏼
