  • Spine Movement?

    I have a question about yoga and stretching the spine. After for instance doing downward facing dog and stretching out the spine, is it actually moving at all? It sometimes feels as though it feels straighter at times.

    I couldn't say for sure, but I know what you mean. Sometimes after doing certain stretches I feel like it helps "lengthen" my spine, or a certain stretch/twist feels like it helps "derotate" my spine. It doesn't last long, but boy it sure feels good!

      I have done yoga for quite some time and I have felt the same thing! After talking with a chiropractor about it, yes, the certain poses really do stretch the spine. Although the spine will probably shift back into position after you do the yoga, it still stretches! It definetley feels good though.
