The Six Movements of the Spine

Think about your spine as a super highway that sends messages from your brain to your body and back again. When you stretch your spine it helps both your brain and your body. I have the K kids take frequent movement breaks throughout the day. One standard mindful movement series is a sequence that moves the spine six ways: back and forth, side to side and twisting.  This simple series can help to calm and sooth the kids and get them ready to learn before each lesson.
To make it a little more fun, we incorporate these movements in partner stretches! The kids absolutely love it! Why not try it with your little one at home!
