A healthy spine has both inward curve and outward curve allowing the spine to act like a spring structure. Too much exaggeration in any area increases the risk of injury. Muscles help with every function of the body and provide strength and stability needed for good posture and alignment. When muscles work together to stabilize the spine and maintain its natural cure they pull in different directions with little tension. However, if the muscle group pulls in one direction with too much force or for too long the spinal column start to move out of its natural alignment and we end up with back problems. This can be from sitting too much, poor posture, improper sitting at a desk, or overworking the muscles. So, what can we do this week we are going to focus on pelvis posture the ideal sitting position?

In the ideal sitting position body weight falls directly over the pelvis so that you are sitting directly onto the sit bone. The lower back should appear lengthened and not rounded. The goal is to achieve neutral pelvis position because this optimizes muscle strength and muscle balance. To sit properly align the head, ribs and pelvis. Let’s get started

(Sitting twisting posture check hip point and pubic bones on same plane

Don’t spill the water   laying supine imagine balancing a glass of water on lower abs.)

END: A healthy spine has both inward curve and outward curve allowing the spine to act like a spring structure. In yoga the spine is the conduit that allows the chakra energy to move from the root to the top of your head. We need the spine to be strong and flexible in body, mind and soul. Life will hand you all kinds of experiences. Too much exaggeration in any of life’s experiences causes injury and pain so, stay centered, aligned and flexible body, mind and soul.
