↪️SIDEWINDER↩️ Sidewinder is a super fun Tune Up move and it’s one of my favorites. It looks simple but it’s surprisingly complex to find BOTH lateral flexion + hip elevation simultaneously while lying on your back. I often teach it standing first to orient students to each action individually, then together, then we take it to the ground. It’s a great way to link the lateral fascial line between shoulder-core-hips. 🔜 🍁 Sign Up now for my October 27th 🍂 leaf-peeping 🍂 Core Integration Immersion Retreat @kripalucenter in the Berkshires ☎️ (800) 741-7353 ☎️ OR.. 🔜 Join me for the YTU Certification in November in NYC, all are welcome 🤩 ☎️ Call @yogaworks_nyc Soho to register (212)965-0801 ☎️ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #Repost @tuneupfitness ・・・ SIDEWINDER - Get a blanket and find a smooth surface for this exercise. - Lie supine on a blanket with your pelvis and head on the blanket. Interlace hands together to cradle head. Keeping the knees pinned together, raise the feet off the floor with knees flexed. The hips and thighs should be at a 90 degree angle to the pelvis. - Laterally flex the spine toward the left using obliques and quadratus lumborum and try to connect your armpit to your hip. Now repeat this movement on the right. - Your head and skull remain on the floor as they slide: the pelvis does not lift off the floor but remains flat like a “Lazy Susan” platter pivoting and gliding to and fro. - Can you increase the pace without losing the precision? - Breathe using your Native Breath, or natural breathing pattern. . . . #tuneupfitness #yogatuneup #embodyyourbody #coreexercise #obliqueexercises #quadratuslumborumexercise #retrainbackpain #nycyogateacher #yoganyc #nycyoga #nycyogainstructor #nycpersonaltrainer #nycpersonaltrainers #nycpilates #fascialexercise #fasciatraining #fascialtraining #fascialfitness
