APPI Clinical Pilates Matwork Level 2 Spine stretch

APPI Clinical Pilates Matwork Level 2 Spine stretch
A great exercise to do at the desk, on the mat or in standing.
 
 
 
To support posture and breathing, which in turn helps with stress through nurturing the parasympathetic nervous system.
 
A “mini roll down” and then the important re-stack. The roll down aspect segmentally mobilises the thoracic spine into flexion and on the roll up, segmentally extending to return.
 
The rib cage movement supports diaphragm lengthening. Focusing on rib retraction and depression to maximise the lengthening on the exhale. Breath in and out through your nose.
