This sequence leads you through a mindful exploration of the movements of your spine to optimize alignment and address imbalances. The session includes alternating movements of your spine between rounding (flexion) and mild arching (extension). The main exploration in this practice involves rounding your spine (flexion) while varying the position of your arms and legs to uncover patterns of tension in the torso, shoulders and hips. Many people find that these variations can be helpful in addressing imbalances and improving alignment. The final spinal twists complement the session to release remaining tension. The session concludes with guided relaxation based on gentle breath elongation.
