Hi, my name is Brett Howard and today we are going to work on the spine corrector. My bodies are Jia and Tetsuo and what? I like this to start with this sitting just a little bit forward of the top of the hump here. I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to have you go back to this a little bit. Jia right here. Yup. There we go. Now you guys are going to bring your feet onto the front of the lip.
Frog
Then you're going to grab a hold of the handles. Now I'm going to have you guys both extend your right leg straight out in front of you. Now slowing controlled. You're going to roll down one vertebra at a time. The goal was to allow the shoulder blades to touch first before the head does. [inaudible]. There we go. Great. Once you're down, you can bring both knees into the chest.Now I'm going to ask you guys if I were, if I wanted Jude, would you be able to lift your head up? All right, so you guys are okay. It's so if you couldn't, that meant that you're a little bit too close. Then I would have to move you back a little bit. So we're going to start with some footwork. You're going to have heels together. Knees are going to go apart. Good. You're going to have nice long feet.
I want you guys to imagine that the barrel is made of clay. You're going to keep a nice firm imprint into it and you're going to never let the imprint increase or decrease. We're going to keep the weight the same. You're going to extend the legs out as you zipper up and bend the knees and come back in. As you extend out, push into the barrel with the core and come back in and pull into the barrel and go back in, imprint in Nice. And Go back in and out on five. And then let's go for five more zipper up and go back in and out on too, and bend in and pull three and in, two more out. And then one more time out and in. Good.
Let's bring feet together, knees together and you're gonna point the feet. A hundred dollar bill in between the knees. Same thing. Zipper up, pour into that barrel, then pull the knees back into the chest, pull into the barrel with the lower back and come back in into the lower back and in. Pull into the barrel exactly out on five and in and five more and in and out and in and out. And two more out and one more and out and in. Good. Flex the feet.
Parallel
And then here it's make sure the little toes are pulling back just as much as the big toes. Push the heels as you pull into the core and bend the knees and come back in and push. Pull back in. Press three and in out four and in out five. Let's go five more and press and in press two and in press three and in and press and in one more time. Press and go back in. Now you're going to keep the yields together, but open your knees in line with your shoulders.

So you're going to roll up and press the hips into the wrist. Press the hands into the thighs, and then melt waist.
Starting from the sternum all the way down to the tail. And again, you're going to start with the tail or you're going to curl up one vertebrae at a time. Once you're up there, do like a tug of war. A hands are going to press down. Hips are going to lift. Hands down. Hips lift. Now start from the sternum, mount, sternum, all the way down to the tailbone. Let's go for three more and roll the hips up.

Now bring your head through exactly and roll up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up to repeat one more. Roll down. Keep those arms by those years. Beautiful guys. Lift those heels up a little bit more. An arch. Open their arms to the side.
Second position. Now close to the Fiskum over the shoulders. Again, roll the head through the arms and push up with the head up with the fist up, up, up, up, up, up, up. Now open the arms to the side. Roll down. We're going to reverse. Once you're down at the head, go back in the arms, over your head. Don't move your arms. Bring your head through the arms and then reach up to the sky. Up. Bup, Bup, bup, bup, bup, bup, bup, bup, bup, bup. Open the second. Now roll down one vertebra at a time. Bring the arms over the head.
Bring the head through the arms and lift up. Up, up, up, up, up, up, up. Hold their head up more. Fist up, more heels forward, more little toe back, more. Collarbone up and relax. I know that went and get shit. All right. I decided to just do two with you guys and not three each way. So put the ball to the side and now let's do a cool down. So we're going to do an x here, a series called the businessman special.
Circles
So I'm gonna have you guys scoot the barrel forward. So my teacher Romana told me that there was a lot of different ending exercises or series. And so this series, the businessmen special or the legs series was something that she said that Joseph [inaudible] would give to the businessmen who would come in at lunchtime. And so they would do their workout. He to end with this series. And when they're done, you're in a rest position. He take a towel, put them, put the towel on their face, and they can relax there and then get up, clean up, go back to work. So that's why we call it the businessman special. All right, so you're going to sit right at the front of the lip there and you're going to bring your hands, grab a hold. You're going to stretch one leg front and you're going to control yourself down to the base of the shoulder blades. Touch. Good.One time Romana gave it to me and she goes, you are tired honey, you deserve this. But that there, and it was so nice. I could just make everything quiet. All right, so both knees into the chest. We're going start with the leg series of both legs are going to go straight up to the ceiling. Now what you're going to do is you're going to rotate the legs to plot ease. You can do it either plot or parallel. Let's do plot is today.
You're going to open the legs lower to where you can control together and lift and open. Lower to your control together and lift open. Lower together and lift open. Lower together. Lift one more open, lower together. Lift, reverse and lower. Open up bend together. Zipper. Open Up.
Bend together as the legs lower into the barrel. Open. Similar to what we did earlier with the footwork series. Lower open up, bend together. One more lower. Open up together. Hold there. Now right leg is going to stay up. Left leg is going to lower. I'm going to give you a little stretch here to open up that, so as there, how's that feel?
Scissors
Three, two, three. That's two. Sorry. Or each two to three. Chains and reach. Reach, reach and reach. Reach, reach and reach. Reach, reach and reach. Reach. Reach. One more and reach two, three chains and reach to
Walking
I would say assembly and up. You guys know that you guys were dancers and assembly. Bicycle. Reach out with the rate.

Let's switch.A reach and reach. Now both legs out to 45 degrees. You're going to open the width of the mat with an accent on the an open one. Open, open, open, and open. Open, open, open, open, close. 10 more. But this time, accent, the close, open accent, clothes and clothes and clothes and clothes and clothes.

Five more clothes and clothes and clothes and clothes and clothes. Now even accent on the open and close. Open. Close, open, close, open, close, open, close. Five. Close. Six. Close. Seven. Close. Eight. Close. Nine. Close, 10, close. Now bring the knees into the chest. I'll give you one extra today. This was the helicopter. So right leg up, left leg goes out, and you can take a split.

Now hold their scissor split again. Keep this circle around. Helicopter. Yes. And you guys are going to clear each other. So scissor one, and scissor and helicopter. [inaudible] I think. And scissor and scissor and helicopter. Yes. And scissor and scissor and helicopter.Last time. Scissor, scissor, and helicopter. Yes. One more time. Scissor, scissor, and helicopter. Hold there. Bring both knees into the chest. Now I want you to push the barrel away from you. Let the legs drape over. Then from there you worked hard.
Honeys, you deserve this and relax. Good. Take a deep breath in and a big excalation. Inhale. Exhale. One more time. Inhale, exhale, bring the knees into the chest, hug your legs, and Romana would say, when you're ready to get up, honey, you can get up and you're done. But you guys are done for today. Thank you guys. She's like, I'm not ready. Thank you.
