We're going to be experimenting a little bit with um, some standing stuff on the barrel and I'm gonna just Kinda try to use the barrel as much as we can in our time that's allotted to just kind of different shapes and way that we can lie over the barrel and use the barrel.

Now you want to feel that sense of cold contraction through the front body in the back body cause Rebecca try to keep your upper spine a little bit more extended. Yes, exactly. So we're not curving at all.

Keep the back flat from me and bring it up and hinge forward and bring the arms down and around. Good. Now as you go forward, feel like you're getting longer.

And then continue to roll up. Now don't worry a bit about getting to your best and highest position may be right now cause we're just going to ease ourselves into it.

Take your breath in at the top and with your exhale, use your abdominals to guide your spine down and by lifting our feet where essentially giving ourself a little bit more space to move the spine so you have a little bit further to travel. Take your breath in and excelling gays in the abdominals. Good. I want you to feel the whole of the lumbar vertebrae pressing into the mat prior to lifting it. Good. Take your breath in and with the exhale, use your abdominals to roll down. Good and just fill that opening of your lower back. Nicely done. And then release it completely to the neutral. Gorgeous.

Keep them hovering just over your mat and spiral to the right. Inhale, just have couple repetitions. It's fine. Twists and XL come back to center and twist. Now keeping the arms off the mat is going to challenge your stability a little bit more, which is what we want. And I want you to use the movement from the waist and drag yourself back to center.

You're going to roll back. Exhale, roll up. And now the little game you're going to play with yourself is to not touch the barrel. Okay. Exactly. So you're going to breathing, roll back, keep your abdominals nicely connected and holds.

Love it and breathe as you're going to put the brakes on before you find that barrel. Nice ladies breathing. Now think of increasing that posterior tilt prior to the roll back and roll that one more time. And breathe in. You look great, nice and steady. Hold it. Whoo. I did make it up on that one. Hold it there. Take the feet down and then extend your spine up. app Up an app, an app. Beautiful. And relax. Gorgeous. So moving along, we're going to go ahead and sit in the barrel in the seat of the barrel and we're going to start with, we're just going to kind of tackle all these abdominal exercises and kind of link them all together so we'll have a little bit of fun with it. Okay.

So I want you to sit up nice and straight and I'd like your feet to be just about hip distance apart so you can take your breath in and with your XL you're going to draw the belly button and you're going to roll back. And now as you do that, I want you to feel your pelvis glide underneath you. Keep a little bit more upper flection. Yes. Perfect. Take a breath in.

Take your breath in and then exhale. Come on. Oh, the way back up. Beautiful. Breathe in. And exhale. Now this time you're going to hold, we're going to do little pulses thinking of the upper body coming down to the lower body. So you're going to pulse one and two. Now as you do this, I want you to think of actually massaging your lumbar spine deeper and deeper into the barrel. So it's guide. You're giving yourself a little massage there. Yes. And pulse. Three more. And the three and two. Hold on one, take the breath in. Continue to roll back. Your arms will go overhead.

Stretching out the shoulders. Open out to the tee. Yes. And Go Chin to chest and roll all the way back up. Now go back through that imprinted portion and then restart the spine. Good. So if you can go ahead and thread the belly button in. If you can lie your back all the way over the barrel.

Fill the upper back extension as you go over. Go back as far as you feel comfortable. Now here, go chin to chest and literally peel your spine off the barrel like a sticker. Yes. And restack the spine up. Breathe in and exhale. So this is the first time we're going into an extreme extension of the spine here. So you want to make sure it's supported. Good opening arms and go chin to chest and literally press the vertebrae.

And that was so great. Press those vertebrae in as you come up. Good. Restack the spine, taking your breath in and go back down into the position. Now this time I would say there. So come a little higher. Yeah, you're going to squeeze your legs together and kind of wiggle your hips a little bit further down. Perfect. You're going to bring the right leg up. Yes. And we're going to switch legs with an exhale. One, two. Now this is a lot of center work. So give me a little bit more upper flection.

Draw your torso. Yes, exactly. So you're connected more into your abdominals. So think of your abdominals being shortened in a contraction. That's it. Good. And then your hip flexors working. Now squeeze the whole of the pelvis together. Feel like the two bones are coming closer together, so get that pelvic floor connection. Beautiful. Switch four more, four and three, and two and one.

Perfect. Now draw your legs together. Good arms are going to come up.

Breathe in. Exhale, rotate to the right. Inhale back to center and rotate to the left. Now what's challenging about this rotation? Good ladies keep going, is that it's very difficult to feel like you can sit up, right? Right, because your hips are way low in the barrel, so it's going to challenge the extensors of the spine. It's going to challenge the flexors as that postural muscle. Good. Nice. And then I want you to think, just keep going. You're doing great twists.

I want you to think about just the rib cage around the spine. Nice, good. And back to center. One more time and twist. Good. From here, come into your curve. We're going to go into an exercise called the reach. Taking your breath in. We're going to scoop the belly in.

Take your breath and we're going to add as overhead stretch a shoulder stretch. So find the position. Hips come up now here, think upper back extension as you reach back over the barrel, circle the arms around and go chin to chest and you'll roll up. So we're kind of linking those two exercises together. Take your breath in. We do reach, pull back. Good. Let me see this moment and you want to pause, fill the suspension, then reach over with the upper back.

It should feel wonderful and circle around. Now as we continue to do these exercises, you should feel like you get a little bit more mobile in your spine. Breathe in, you can reach back a little bit further into that extension. You can lift those hips a little bit higher as your hips open and reach up and over. Feel that gorgeous extension and go chin to chest and scoop, but in and come all the way here. Lovely. Good.

Normally on the floor, we start at a flat line here. We're starting in that overextended position, so your body has a further distance to cover to achieve that flection that we want. Yes, breathe in. You guys look great. And XL, take it back. We're gonna hold up on this one. Inhaling and at fill up. You Go. Now, this is a toughie. Feel that connection nice and deep. You're going to take your bib cage and you're going to spiral to the right Xcel one through the center and to now as you pass through the center, I want you to feel like you deepen the abdominals and literally roll your lower spine across the barrel. Exactly. That transition is what counts as going to show a really more advanced practitioner. Applaud is how they transition from one side to the other.

Love it and twists. Good and last, twist. Beautiful. Come back to the center. Take the arms forward, slides your hips down just a little bit. Good.
