LANCELOT STRETCH EXERCISE

LANCELOT STRETCH 

• Lancelot stretch exercise is a useful stretch if you have stiffness around your spine, as it stretches hip flexors and, particularly, your psoas muscle. 

• Psoas muscle is directly attached to your spine and so it is important to keep it flexible. 

HOW TO DO LANCELOT STRETCH?

1. Standing with your feet wide apart keep your hands on your hips. 
2. Lunge ahead with your left leg, and bend both legs so that your right knee and the top of your right foot are touching the floor.
3. Keep your spine in a neutral position and look straight ahead.
4. Take your arms together above your head, and palms touching, your left arm in front of your right twisting. 
5. Stretch upward and tilt your pelvis backward in such a way that your tail bone comes forward. 
6. Hold and return to the starting position.
7. Repeat 3 times and change the sides.
