nother year goes by and there’s another Skylanders release, but considering that they get better with each one, then you won’t hear us complaining!

So what’s new? This year, you’re able to create your own Skylanders in-game by either picking from hundreds of different body parts or allowing the game to create one randomly. There are millions of potential combinations available and, best of all, once you’ve created your Skylander you can use it on a friend’s console by saving your character to the glowing ‘Creation Crystal’ that comes with the game. It’s a neat idea, but if you prefer to play old school, then there are 30 new Sensei figures to choose from, too.

Older gamers will be interested to hear that Crash Bandicoot (who’s celebrating his 20th birthday this year) will show up in the game as a playable character. You can play as either Crash or Dr. Neo Cortex in a specially themed level in the game called Thumpin’Wumpa Island. Naturally, there’s also a toy figure of Crash too, for hardcore Skylanders collectors.

HEALTH & VITALITY “90% of the stimulation and nutrition to the brain is generated by the movement of the spine.”

Dr. Roger Sperry (Nobel Prize Recipient)

KEEPING THE SPINE ALIVE

What is Meant by Good Posture?

The question relates to the way that you hold, position or support your body when standing, sitting, lying and, most importantly, when moving. A good posture or movement pattern is one that puts less strain through the systems of the body. This means being aware of the position of your bones, joints and facia, and the inter-relationship between them.

When they are in good alignment, our body can work efficiently and in harmony – i.e even strain distribution, less wear and tear on the joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and facia or connective tissue.

The spine has its normal three curves in the neck (cervical), middle back (thoracic) and lower back (lumber). The degrees of the curves may vary, but it is 20-40% in the neck and mid back and 40-60% in the lower back. The curves are important for protection of the brain stem, the spinal canal, spinal cord and nerves, shock absorption, balance and range of movement.

Breathing to Help Restore Spinal Alignment?

Breath nourishes the body, cells and moves us.

Become aware of where your breath goes in your body and where it does not. Do you breath to the front and back of the body? Is it high up or low down?

Do you inhale or exhale more? How is your breathing

in different positions, lying, sitting, standing, moving?

Once you become aware of what you do, you can explore alternatives and sense how breath can help to make change throughout the body. For a video of Breathing Exercises, visit www.zoisaholder. co.uk/blog.
