Somatic Yoga for Spine Health - Yoga with Rachel

Описание: Welcome to your Somatic Yoga for Spine Health practice. (↓Open for more details!).
❤️ I’ve written several blog posts on somatic yoga that you might find interesting. You can learn about what somatic yoga is, the benefits, and explore somatic exercises here: https://www.yogawithrachelmarie.com/blog ❤️

We begin today’s practice by bringing awareness to the breath. Breathwork is an essential part of spinal health as it can help open up the energetic pathways that run along the spine. During our breathwork practice, there’s an invitation to visualize a ball of light flowing up and down the length of your spine.

Once we’ve connected with our breath, we’ll explore gentle spinal movements, using the earth beneath us as sensory feedback.

After some movement on the back, we’ll transition to a seated position, giving you the opportunity to observe how your spine responds to movement in a different relationship to gravity.

Next, we transition to all fours, offering space to explore organic, intuitive movement. Here, we will integrate what we’ve explored thus far. You’ll also have an opportunity to explore guided movement in a different relationship with gravity, offering perhaps a new perspective on how your spine moves in space.

We'll close our practice in Child’s Pose, offering you a quiet moment to absorb and savor all the nourishment and benefits of this somatic yoga experience.

Somatic practices invite you to listen to your body’s internal sensations. The invitation is to allow your sensations to guide and inform your practice.

If your body asks to linger in a pose, the invitation is to honor that message. If something doesn’t feel good, the invitation is to explore a variation that does. Somatic practices are about choice, welcoming you to move in a way that feels good and nourishing.

I am here to support you as a guide. You’re welcome to follow my guidance, or move in a way that feels authentic to you. You have the freedom to set your own pace, rhythm, repetitions, and breathing pattern–exploring what feels like a welcome gesture in your body.

Feel free to return to this somatic yoga practice for the spine whenever it feels good.

Sending love to you! 💜
