Spinal Breathing Pranayama – Visualization

Based on the initial AYP instructions I assumed the trace path would be as shown below

But looking at the real anatomy, the spinal column is as below

Having some difficulty visualizing the path everytime consistently.

I think the key words to remember are “Thin”, “hollow” and “slow breathing”. Another thing I need to do is remember the chakra locations and mildly touch them while passing them on my way up.

I sometime visualize a roller coaster ride on the spinal column as if I am riding on it.
