CINDY MASTRY: Namaste. My name is Cindy Mastry, and in this clip Faith is going to help me demonstrate how to massage your spine using a spinal roll. So we're going to have Faith come lay down on her back. She's going to inhale in and as she exhales, she's going to bring her knees into her chest. Good. Inhaling again, she's going to lengthen through the crown of her head and down through her tailbone, and as she exhales, she's going to bring her nose up in between the knees, stretching the spine, pressing her shoulder blades down. Now, she's just gently going to begin to rock back and forth, and this rocking action massages her entire spine from the shoulder blades all the way down to the tailbone. Good. So she can come up to rocking, yes, even more eventually, rocking all the way up to a seated position. Good. So, massaging the spine, working the abdominals and it feels really good on your back.
