A well balanced yoga pose routine gently moves the spine in all directions. These poses together will bring the spine through flexion, side bending, extension and rotation. The most important part of it all is to keep the breath conscious, steady and deeper than it is when we’re not paying attention to it. This is what makes yoga so relaxing and special.
