Stay All About the Thoracic Spine

Evidence shows that improving awareness of the body can be a big step in healing persistent pain. As I mentioned before, this week is all about strengthening your connection to your upper back and integrating the t-spine, neck and shoulders. This gem of a practice is amazing for grasping the subtle yet supportive movement that the, sometimes very neglected, t-spine is making during all movement. 

This pranayama can be difficult for some. If you are having trouble, no worries. Just keep coming back to this video and trying your best. You will get it! The most important thing is to very calm and aware of what is happening in the body. So don’t get so tied up in executing the instructions that you forget to pay attention to how you feel.
