Roll-Up

Setup

• Lie flat on your back on a yoga mat with your legs fully extended or slightly bent, and arms reaching overhead.

Execution

• Inhale to initiate the movement by bringing your arms forward, lifting your head, neck, and shoulders off the floor.

• Exhale and continue to roll your spine segment by segment off the mat until you reach a fully upright, seated position, reaching your arms toward your feet.

• Inhale and keep your spine elongated as you reach forward.

• Exhale and slowly reverse the motion, using your core to control your spine as you roll back down vertebra by vertebra to the starting position.
