This is one of Dani's signature Therapeutic practices. The intention is to loosen up all the areas in the body that affect your low back. The sequence will target the hamstrings, hip flexors, hips and inner thighs. There will also be a few stretches for the upper back and shoulders. Everything in the body is connected, so it’s essential to keep everything open and free. The more space we create in the body the more freedom we experience. The more freedom the better we feel. Recommended props: 1 block, 1 bolster, 2 blankets

Opening your hips and hamstrings takes time, but if you do this well rounded beginner practice regularly it will happen! Recommended props: 2 blocks, 2 blankets, 1 strap
