Flexion Release and Hip Circles

Description

Lie on your back and bring your knees toward your chest, grasping your shins with your hands to completely relax your lower back. Then draw wide circles with both knees together, as if rotating them in one direction, keeping your sacrum in contact with the floor and your trunk engaged. Reverse the direction of the circles after a few turns, then return to the starting position. Breathe freely throughout the exercise, within a comfortable range.
