Roll Back!

Begin seated with your knees bent, feet on the floor hip-width apart. Sit up tall you’re your shoulders down and back. Suck your navel in so your torso forms a C and keeping your back rounded, slowly roll your torso down toward the floor, vertebrae by vertebrae. Take a deep breath when your torso reaches the floor and tuck your chin to your chest and slowly roll up to seated, vertebrae by vertebrae.

It is important that you do not allow your navel to “pop” toward the ceiling, if you feel tension in your low back or your navel does, assist yourself by placing your hands on the back of your thighs and be sure to keep your shoulders away from your ears!

Repeat this roll down for 8 – 12 repetitions with the flow of your breath. This is great work for your core, glute and hamstring muscles! Fun!
