Explore the range of healthy action in our spinal columns

Namaste,

I hope you are happy and healthy! When practicing yoga, it is helpful to think of the spine as the main axis of support and mobility. This way, our postures and movements will help keep our spine strong, flexible, and resilient. Notice how we try to create length as the first step in moving the spine. In this sequence, we explore the five fundamental actions of the spinal column: lengthening (axial extension), rounding (spinal flexion), arching (spinal extension), lengthening one side (lateral flexion), and spinal rotation.

As always, remember to practice comfortably within your limits, without straining, struggling, or self-judgment.

I hope you enjoy this practice. Let me know how it feels in your body.

Peace and health,
