Objectives
Develop proprioception in the prone position, helping the client learn where the body is in space and how to place the Magic Circle correctly—an often challenging setup.
Strengthen the glutes, hamstrings, and hip adductors to support balanced, coordinated posterior‐chain engagement.
Use the co‐contraction of the abdominals and spinal extensors to stabilize the torso, creating a steady anchor for lower‐body work.
Increase shoulder‐girdle stabilization through proper arm placement, ensuring the upper body remains organized and supportive throughout the movement.
Focus on breathing to synchronize the movement.
