These routines are wonderful for individuals concerned about the health of their spine from a disc, bone or joint perspective. You can rest at ease knowing the routines are safe for you.
In this episode, I emphasize safe alignment, strong poses and supportive transitions. If you are concerned about your bone health or just want an intelligent Yoga routine, then this is the episode for you.
All the key elements are covered: balance, back and hip muscle strength, and weight bearing through your hips and wrists. All the movements and poses are all done at a slow, comfortable pace.
A kitchen chair is incorporated into the routine to ensure proper form and safety.
At the end of your routine, you get to enjoy a relaxing (and much deserved) Shavasana pose.
