- Sit for a living

The function of the spine is to elongate, and in this elongation it’s elasticity and your are regained. It is not a battle against old age, but rather a bringing back to life of those parts of the body which have been neglected for so long and which have lost their suppleness.
Vanda Scaravelly “Awakening the spine”

- How to find neutral pelvis
- Ways to create space in the spine
- Simple and accessible poses to strengthen the back
- Easy ways to open the chest to keep the spine healthy and to have better posture

- People typically lose almost one-half inch (about 1 centimeter) every 10 years after age 40. Height loss is even more rapid after age 70. You may lose a total of 1 to 3 inches (2.5 to 7.5 centimeters) in height as you age. Height loss is related to ageing changes in the bones, muscles, and joints.
