Certified fitness instructor and yoga expert Manushreya Sharma shared her take on how this exercise stands to benefit you.

Living a fast-paced life, we often forget to take care of our spine. We slouch and adopt poor postures, and never take enough care of our spinal health. So spinal waves help us heal our spines as it is a really important part of our nervous system regulation.

She added that when we go through emotional challenges, we store pain in our physical body– the hips and spine are places where we store our emotional blockages. Spinal waves also help heal both our physical and emotional bodies.

What are some precautions you can take?

For starters, Sharma suggested against performing this exercise if you have any spinal injury or surgery. In all other cases, you can and should practice spinal movements daily to live a healthy and long life.

“It’s important to do such stretchings right when you wake up because the body needs to get going before starting the day. Having said that, you can practice it anytime but ensure a meal gap of 2 hours before and after practicing any yoga postures,” she added.
