Objectives

Creates traction through the entire spine, hips, knees, and ankles to decompress and lengthen the body.
Opens both the front and back lines for a full-body stretch.
Deepens the connection between the abdominals and hip flexors for more integrated control.
Builds strength and flexibility throughout the upper torso.
Reinforces a steady co-contraction of the abdominals and spinal extensors for balanced support.
Strengthens the core and back extensors by controlling the descent of the inverted body until the hands reach the floor.
Focus on breathing to synchronize the movement.
