If you would like to have a little more flexibility in your spine, you might want to try this gentle twisting pose. In addition to strengthening your back muscles, this twist may help with any digestive problems you may experience.
Remember - honor your body.
Sitting in a chair with your feet flat on the floor - take a deep breath in and gently lift your spine. Exhale, roll your shoulders up, back and down. Place your left hand on your right leg, and inhale once more. On the exhale, slowly turn your upper body to your right. Slowly bring your head to the right so you are looking over your right shoulder. Bring your right hand to the back of the chair. Breath in an out here for 3-5 breaths. Be mindful of your neck. Only twist as far you feel comfortable. Take an inhale and on the exhale, slowly come out of the twist.
Notice how that felt. Good? Yes? Let's balance ourselves out by twisting to your left now. Namaste~
