Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Lie down on your back, legs stretched out straight and arms lying loosely at your sides. Close your eyes and relax your body. Breathe slowly and deeply for a few moments to prepare to do the yoga circular exercise for back pain.
Step2
Lift your right leg into large, counterclockwise circular motions. Keep your leg straight, but be careful not to hyperextend the knee. Only your leg and hip should move from the floor. The height and reach of your leg will simply depend on your flexibility and comfort level. Repeat ten times.
Step3
Set your right leg back down after the tenth rotation. Relax your body, breathing deeply and slowly for a few moments.
Step4
Lift your left leg into large, clockwise circular motions. Again, keep your leg straight, but be careful not to hyperextend the knee. Repeat ten times.
Step5
Set your left leg back down after the tenth rotation. Relax your body, breathing deeply and slowly for a few moments.
Step6
Repeat Steps 2 through 5, only this time go in the opposite direction with each leg: the right leg moving in clockwise circular motions and the left leg moving in counterclockwise circular motions.
Step7
Relax your body, breathing deeply and slowly for a few moments to end the yoga circular exercise for back pain.
