While this lesson looks like it’s doing abdominals, it’s meant to pandiculate and release your abs and lower back!

Excellent lesson for releasing your tight back muscles by using something called “antagonistic muscle pairs” by using the opossing muscles. So while using our abdominal muscles.. our back muscles release.

Even if this lesson is under 10 minutes, you are advised to do more movements at a slower pace. So doubling the time. It’s been reported by somatics teachers that variations of this lesson also releases stored up depression and emotional tension.

Students report mental clarity.

Do it anytime you feel “stuck” or in a depressed state. Or do other variations/explorations of the flexors.
