stretch and release

Short flow involving spinal undulation and release, weight bearing of plank to pike and back, use of posterior (or back-of-body) muscles. Feels very good!

Relaxing but energising sequence to tune up all those deep muscles that support your spine. Not suitable for those with osteoporosis (half roll back involves loaded flexion, which is not advised if bone density is low or even close to osteoporosis range).

Starting with mobilising + stretching the feet – the foundation of everything – and finishing with same at head / neck, this accesible, short workout was just what I needed at this busy time of the year! Only needs mat and cushion(s). Hope you find it similarly grounding and restorative.

Try out this gentle mobilising and strengthening 20-minute flow on the mat!

Short, grounding workout starting from all fours. Level 1 – suitable for all (except if osteoporosis in spine). Mobilise your spine, and hips. Finish with focus on your breathing.
