Flattening the front of your Pelvis

This week we are working on flattening through the front of your pelvis. We did some work on this back in September (see "Scooping"). I think we are going to do a second week of this, as it is important.
Other cues besides "flattening from three to nine" are;
"pulling back your ovaries"
"feeling the smile from three to nine"
"scooping out your intestines" and
"hollowing out your pelvis"

THE SEQUENCE OF ACTIVATION-
1. lift your pelvic floors
2. draw back the smile (hollow, scoop, etc.)
3. exhale
4. move

Notice "move" is last. Please, please, please, the goal is not a huge range of motion- the activation of the front of your pelvis is so much more important. Smaller - read less difficult- range of motion enables you to place more concentration on your pelvis.
