Wake Up Your Spine & Fascia

Your spine is designed to move in every direction, yet long hours of sitting and repetitive movement can leave it feeling stiff and restricted. This easy fascia release practice combines cat-cow, side bending, and spinal circles to restore mobility through your spine, ribs, shoulders, and torso while encouraging the fascia to glide more freely. It's a wonderful daily reset to improve posture, reduce back tension, and help your whole body move with greater ease. Practice daily to experience the full benefits and to get used to the coordination of the spinal circles.
