The gentle movements and relaxation practices in this audiobook are recommended by Gillian as a daily routine for maintaining a healthy spine, for alleviating back problems and for helping to prevent osteoporosis. Track one introduces energising breathing techniques and includes a sequence of gentle movements using the breath to both relax and strengthen your back. Track two is a deep relaxation practice known as yoga nidra in which you lie on your back and rotate your awareness passively through your body, allowing it to relax.

The exercises are interspersed with meditative pauses and accompanied by soothing classical music. The second yoga session introduces you to a deep breathing technique and then takes you into a state of deep relaxation where, with the help of sounds from nature, you are guided into the experience of being different animals.
