Objectives
Enhance deep abdominal control to stabilize the body while allowing smooth arm movements and shoulder mobility.
The emphasis is on maintaining abdominal stabilization during the entire movement.
Shoulder lubrication as the spine moves through flexion and extension.
Control and precision of arm movements and spinal movements to loosen both shoulder girdle and the spine.
Coordinates & differentiates the shoulder from the spine & teaches scapulohumeral rhythm.
Enhances the concept of lengthening out of the waist and articulation of the spine.
Focus on breathing to synchronize the movement.
