Improve your spinal health and mobility by exploring your spine's full range of motion in multiple directions: side bending, twisting, backbending, and forward folding. Not only will this sequence help you develop more fluidity in your movement, it will also help to open the ribcage for more freedom and expansion in breathing, along with providing a welcome release for muscles of the back, shoulders and neck.

I really enjoyed this class, thank you. Perfect pace and instructions. So peaceful without music. I would class this as intermediate but I think in general, the site tends to class a lot of intermediate lessons as beginner ones. I always bear this in mind so it's not a problem.

Thanks for the feedback. This one seems to straddle the line between beginner and intermediate, making it difficult to categorize for everyone. If there is anyone else out there who feels this should be an intermediate class, let me know and I'll make the change.

I don't think beginner should necessarily mean easy :) ! While I agree this may not be suitable for complete beginners, for me, the difference between beginner and intermediate is not only in the difficulty of the poses - strength and flexibility required - but in the types of cue given. Here, Rachel focuses on basic alignment, which is fundamental at all levels, and has used blocks so that the class is more accessible to those of us with less flexibility. In a more advanced class, there may be cues on other aspects of yoga as well, e.g. bandhas. As an on/off yogi of 30yrs - OK, more off than on - I really wish I'd had this quality of teaching when I first started out.

This is a perfect class. Pacing is not too fast, directions are clear and well timed. Variety and happiness!
