How to do the full salamander: 1. Come to all fours (table top position) 2. Find a neutral head position with your spin in augment. To do this; lower your head further than you think is normal. Then lift it higher than you think is neutral. Repeat a few times until you find a middle spot. 3. Take your gaze over to your right without moving your head. 4. Now til it your right ear to right shoulder. 5. Complete the move by bringing your right hip towards your right shoulder so your spine curves sideways like a c shape. 6. Stay here for 30-60 seconds 7. Repeat on the opposite side You might feel a release here - like a deep sigh, a yawn or swallow.
