Reorganizing the Spine

This lesson is done lying on the side, inviting twisting, bending, and lifting to invite access to information about dormant parts of ourselves and/or clarity about patterns of use through our spine. For each of us, we have specific and habitual ways of bending and turning through our spines, and the unusual movements in this lesson invite the ability to move in ways we perhaps haven’t for a long time. Generally there is not a huge range of movement possible between each vertebra, but the ability to move and differentiate each vertebra is key to the wide range of movement possibilities through our spines. We can get stuck in places such that certain vertebra can’t differentiate well which can cause discomfort, tension, and lack of fluidity. Go slowly and gently as you invite parts of your spine to the party!
