In a time when most of us are moving less than ever, the downtown dance maven has created this sweet and simple guide, to staying in shape when you’re staying at home, specially for Wallpaper* readers. Gently tuck you chin into your check and let it hang. Take a few deep breaths. You should feel a stretch going down your neck an even into your spine. Bring your head up again and lean your head, first right and then left, each time breathing deeply for a few breaths.
Do this forward then backwards four times fairly slow, and then speed up another four times. Imagine a point on the crown of your head. Take that point and let your chin drop forward just as you did in the head exercise, but this time keep going downward, feeling the stretch vertebrae by vertebrae as you go lower and lower until you touch the floor.Roll up just like you came down: vertebrae by vertebrae. Do this twice. Now imagine that you get punched in the stomach.
