What it is: A short routine that can be done anywhere to keep your spine healthy and flexible. Students can stand at their desks, or even stay seated if necessary.
Why we love it: The human spine can move in seven directions. But the average person only moves his/her spine in two directions – forward and backward – on a day to day basis. It’s important to regularly move your spine in all its seven directions to keep it strong.

Following this short sequence regularly is important for keeping your spine robust. It’s a really great sequence to do with your classroom first thing in the morning, and at the end of the day, before many students go to their athletic extracurricular activities.
