You’ll start feeling that your life has some backbone, quite literally. This will lead to you making better decisions, possibly leading a life from a position of courage. You may start to feel your back is longer, you may start to sit up taller, you may start to notice when you slump or stoop and pick yourself up, open your front body and express what you really want in life and then go get it.

How to use these videos.

Choose a different video every day, every other day or once a week. Then go again and repeat the videos from the start. We think you could be surprised by the improvement in your spine’s mobility. But remember to take it easy. If you are worried about a particular issue or pain, of course, do the sensible thing and discuss yoga with your doctor or healthcare practitioners.

Don’t do anything that causes you pain or discomfort.

Stretch yourself. Move a little more, a little more often and find flexibility in your spine and your life.
