Release your low back pain with this simple, guided stretch. This is my “go-to” pose for low back pain relief. Props needed: a belt (any pants, belt, scarf, or makeshift strap will do) and one cushion (optional).
This stretch has it’s roots in yin yoga principals, but no yoga experience is required to gift your low back this release. It’s easy and appropriate for all levels.
Let me know what you think of this low back stretch in the comments. Did it relieve your low back pain at all?

Good stretch ❤thabksb
Beautiful stretch for my low back, thank you so much 🙏💗
Thank you Brett! This simple stretch felt awesome!
Back feels good but my toes went numb. Was that supposed to happen?
my neck feels strained from all the lowering chin to chest. is it normal?
Great stretch
although I felt more stretch in mijn neck and shoulder 🤔🙏🏼
I have lower sciatica back pain and at the moment also neck and shoulder pain. I felt this stretch more in my neck and upper back this time but hopefully once that is feeling better I will feel it more in my lower back. Either way it's a great stretch and a great way to start the day with some mindfulness and relief for my back pain. Thank you.
So simple but so powerful. I felt extreme tightness immediately and had very limited range. I always knew chin to chest in this position caused tightness, but would often move to the next pose before giving it a chance. I have mild scoliosis so leaning to one side felt more intense and I unfortunately never felt it in my lower back…yet. My lower back was the reason I found this video. I will do this daily until I loosen my extremely tight neck muscles and hopefully soon I'll get to feel it throughout my lower back! Thanks for this video!
Woman this is just magic!!! The weirdest most meditative incredible relief of lower back and sciatica pain. What a surprise. Thank you God bless you
I felt this more in my upper back….is that normal?
Holy Cow I cant believe this actually worked as well as it has! Honestly the tension and stretching whilst doing the pose was killing me, like a niggling almost sharp pain but I went with it, as time passed it wasn't so much pain, but just tension. as soon as i released the from the pose, omg.. wow! haha Thank you so much for sharing! Ps: i used old tights, worked a treat!
is it back that i can't even sit in this stretch for longer than a minute??? I guess I have so much tension in there it hurts really bad to do this
Brett you are a yoga angel! Your videos have helped me get into yoga and I'm gradually chipping away at years of running without proper stretching and old injuries…these videos help so much! I love how you always make recommendations for less flexible people and the way you walk through the poses and explain how they work & what proper technique is, is absolutely wonderful.
You're honestly my favorite YouTube yoga person!
You're my savior
oh. my. ouch! I never realized how nuch tension i was harboring… could barely get movement in the chin without feeling it! ill try this every morning
this was perfect tonight! Bless you and thankyou!
It makes my back feel a little better but it makes my neck and shoulder posture bad….
I find this really hurts my neck, is there anything I can do about that?
very helpful, thanks for sharing such awesome postures with full explaination.
Thanks for all your great videos and amazing disposition. Should I be experiencing neck pain while doing this?
Enjoyed this video, but struggled to quiet my mind so I could just relax. Nameste 🙏
Wow. Thank you! I wish I would have learned about this earlier.
so weird – it worked. I have lower back/sciatica pain and that simple move relieved it. Who knew!
and you still hot
Do you have a yoga sequence to correct the herniated discs (lower spine) and also relieve pain?
Great stretch! I loved it!! It was just what my back needed!! Thank you so much!! It's one of my favorites already!!
Great it really works
Thank you
