Objectives
Expand mobility through the thoracic spine with smooth, supported extension.
Lengthen the shoulder extensors while softening tension in the shoulder flexors and chest.
Invite openness across the front body as the arc’s pressure encourages release through the spinal extensors.
Keep a steady abdominal connection as the spine pours over the barrel and the bod lengthens in all directions.
Focus on breathing to synchronize the movement.
