BALANCING BOTH SIDES OF THE SPINE
This mini Vinyasa stretches both sides of the body to create length on the sides of the spine. We all have more or less one leg longer than the other, one hip less mobile and one shoulder higher than the other, which promotes imbalances in the body and creates compression on one side of the vertebrae of the spine. Stretching the sides of the body helps to better maintain or regain balance on both sides of the body and to straighten the posture.
