What are the 5 major movement of the spine you ask?

Flexion, rounds the spine forward; extension, rounds the spine back, rotation, twists the spine, lateral flexion is side bending and my favourite, wait for it…. axial extension because it decompresses and vertically lengthens your spine. You grow taller…at least while you’re lengthening upwards to the sky. Sun Salutations allow you to marry these spinal movements with deep inhales and exhales creating a beautiful dance as you move your spine. You can do them seated on a folded blanket on the floor or in a chair. Check you my video on seated Sun Salutations.
