The Centred Spine Bend
sides. Cross your left foot over your right with the toes of your left foot on the floor and the heel off. Your right knee-cap should lie behind the back of the left knee. Resist the temptation to move your body to the left as it's important that your spine should remain centred, and do not try to straighten your knee. Inhale deeply via the nose and while exhaling bend forward, very slowly and carefully, until your finger tips touch the floor or if you're very stiff bring your fingertips as near to the floor as you can. Do not try to force your hands lower than they will comfortably go. With constant practice you would be able to reach the floor when you will get the maximum benefit from this exercise. Remain in the bending position for as long as you comfortably can without inhaling. When the impulse to inhale appears do so and at the same time straighten up again. Repeat the CENTRED SPINE BEND three or four times then reverse legs and repeat thus three or four times. Two points to note. Firstly do not move your shoulders or your buttocks while bending forward, as all the work should be done by the spine above the waistline. If you perform this exercise very slowly and carefully and practice it faithfully at least three or four periods a day you will soon experience respite from your sacroiliac troubles.
