#190 Play with back-massage

Lay down on a carpet/ blanket or exercise mat, bring your knees up towards your chest, grasp the knees or the thighs and gently curve your spine and roll back and forth along the spine in a rocking motion... sort of like this image, only you don't have to go as far backwards. Find your own balance, rolling smoothly back and forth:
