REPEAT × 3-5 times.

Note: continue in smooth movement focussing on moving the vertebrae one at a time. Imagine the spine is a bicycle chain. Move slowly and sequentially. If you feel discomfort in your wrists fold the end of the mat or place a small towel under the heel of the hand to reduce the angle between the wrist and the mat. ENJOY!
