Where you should feel it, the one cue to remember, and quick fixes when you feel it somewhere else.

You should feel it inLower back

Steady effort with calm breathing — stretch and strength in balance, never sharp pain.

Key cue (the coach says it during the set)“Inhale to lengthen, exhale to settle deeper.”

Tempo · Hold for 3–5 slow breaths

Feel it in KneesKnee strain in lunges or twists. Keep the knee over the ankle and use a block or cushion.
Feel it in WristsWrists hurt in down-dog or plank. Spread the fingers, press through the knuckles, or use fists / forearms.
Barely felt itToo light or too fast. Lower for 3 seconds, pause 1 second at the stretch, and pick a load that leaves only 1–2 reps in the tank.
Joint painSharp or joint pain is a stop sign: end this set, lower the weight, shorten the range — if it repeats, switch to an easier variation.

During a workout we ask after the first set where you felt it and give the fix right away — and remember it for next time.
