Lower Abs & Belly Button Release

This week I want to take a break from Planking to concentrate on initiating leg movement from your lower abs. This is similar to scooping, hollowing and drawing back through the front of your pelvis.

I'm going to cue this differently as; "releasing (sinking, dropping) the front of your pelvis back"

If you get a better "drop" ("sink", etc) with your back flat, do it- the sink is more important than the neutral (walnut space) pelvis

Also, you may have a better "sink" with a smaller range of motion with your legs.

Hey Sweets- Everybody experiences Pilates differently- It's my job to make sure everyone feels "something" like they're supposed to. If I find a different way of expressing the "feeling" for someone, I like to give it a try to see if it helps others- It has!!- Thanks
