Objectives
Expand the range of motion and length through the torso and spine while stretching the entire back line from head to heel.
Stabilize the shoulders, hips, and trunk, using the abdominals to support the spine through the roll-down so the back can lengthen without being overworked.
Focus on breathing to synchronize the movement.
