Stewart Strawbridge is an established presence in the Portland, Maine financial community and serves as managing partner of Selkirk Partners. Focused on wellness in his daily life, Stewart Strawbridge is currently working with his wife Liz, a physician, to set in place a community health center that will feature a coordinated range of offerings, from yoga to meditation. One of the distinct benefits of yoga is the way in which it can address lower back issues. Poses such as downward facing dog serve to decompress and extend the spine across its entire length. The pose also stretches and strengthens the hamstrings, which are essential in providing support and enabling proper back and hip posture. Another familiar pose that stretches the length of spine, as well as the hips, is the cat and cow pose. This begins on the hands and knees, with the tailbone and chest lifted up toward the ceiling with the inward breath. On the exhale the back is arched and the head is dropped, while pressing through the shoulder blades.
