The curves of the spine

The shape of the lumbar & cervical vertebrae & angle of the articulating joints support movement in almost every plane. 

  • Flexibility
  • Most mobile
  • Instability
  • Areas most prone to problems & injury

The curves of the spine help to absorb shock, support the head, align head over pelvis, stability of structure, flexibility. 

Primary curve develops in utero, kyphotic 

During vaginal delivery the first secondary curve appears, lordotic. 

The cervical curve continues to develop, baby lifting the head

Lumbar curve develops (straightens) to bring weight over feet

Lumbar spine starts kyphotic 6-8 years

After 10 years the lumbar curve is fully adult. 

The lumbar vertebrae support rib cage & chest. 

Cervical vertebrae support the head 

Our inward curves support us.

Testimonials

I was so sad and sorry when my last yoga teacher decided to move home to Italy. I thought I would never find a better teacher & then… I found Chris. She delivers a wonderfully unique class which is a marriage of movement and breath. Her class delivers a complete workout for whatever level you’re at, whilst being easy on the body and calming the mind. I look forward to every class and have never felt stronger or better.

Christine conveys an immense passion for yoga. Her energy is palpable. She also has a discerning understanding of how the body works when practicing yoga. I really enjoy her classes which leave me feeling full of positivity!

Christine is a great yoga teacher and I recommend you give her a go.  She is very spiritual but her love of family and her surroundings come through clearly in her teaching - I have wished so many times to be with her in Dublin on the beach, in the studio, in the park! I have loved her classes via Zoom and her early morning Rise and Shine class has been a fantastic start to my day.  She is very knowledgeable and clearly puts a lot into planning each month and each week. Her classes are well prepared and she takes time to explain positions with variations too so that it is suitable for many levels. Having practised with her for 6 months, she keeps her practice interesting with different themes so that no 2 classes are completely the same.  I am loving my yoga journey with her and look forward to it continuing for many years.

Absolutely love Chris’s yoga classes. It has become a staple part of my week to keep my mind clear and my body right. Chris is a fantastic teacher and I especially enjoy her meditation and reflections during class. Chris herself is such a fantastic person both inside and out and her light is infectious!
