This is a short series designed to open up your neck, shoulders and thoracic spine (the middle of the back between your shoulder blades). It’s great for office workers and a fantastic class to do regularly if you want to avoid common issues from desk work and aging, such as carpal tunnel, arthritis and neck pain.

I am not a senior, but I am an asthmatic, and found this really helpful for opening up my lungs. I made sure to go with the pace of my own breath, which is not as fast as Michelle goes in the video (otherwise would trigger a coughing fit). Following this up with some Alexander Technique to keep accessing my breath!

Question: Just because I am over sixty, why do you say don't put my head back?

I'm not sure what specific point in the video you're referring to, but I think that can be a comment for the general public. It's important to avoid letting the head drop back in a way that can stress the neck.

I have one replaced vertebrae, and a total of eight fused, thoracic, so the title of this class really caught my eye. Unfortunately, this class was too fast for me, which is not a criticism of the class...as I am 67, don't exercise regularly, and have the special circumstances of the spinal fusion. I may return to this class after I build my endurance a bit.
