Nothing more gorgeous than a happy back.😇
What is a happy back?
A happy back is open and released in all directions – wide and long.
There is length up the front of the torso as well as the back.
You are not ramrod straight.
But so, too, no curves are overly pronounced.
It’s when you “know” where your spinal column begins and ends and can remember to allow space for the long curves of the spine by not interfering with habitual slumps and dumps.
When your head ( a necessary weight) feels weightless and is balanced atop the spine.
Jaw released.
A happy back doesn’t try too hard – there is no need to overwork and tense.
You don’t need your abs engaged to help hold you up.
You just feel good. And Strong. And able.
