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.
