Great cuing relative to body awareness during the different moves, but would be much better if you also gave spring advice during transitions. I had to stop many times to decide and adjust my springs.
Yes, I could see how that would be frustrating. Though there are exceptions and adjustments made to meet each body type and needs, here is a simplified and general guideline. Most of the exercises will be executed on 2 springs. The exceptions are: Footwork (3-4springs) Hundred (3-4), Pull Straps I and II (1spring), Teaser (1), Stomach Massage Round (3-4), Stomach Massage Hands Bach (2-3), Stomach Massage Reach and Twist (2), Running (3-4), Pelvic Tilt (3-4), and finally Side Splits (1-2). I hope you will try it again noting those spring levels. Thanks for the feedback:)
Thank you Monica, loved the class :) I payed special attention to my hips and alignment throughout and made many of the same adjustments. enjoyed practicing grace in transitions and execution.
Monica, I was concerned that the head rest was still up when the feet were over Christi's head after the frog and leg circles. I've always used the rule of thumb that the headrest is down when the feet are over the head or the hips are higher than the head.
Hi Pat! Thank you for your concern. Great rule of thumb too! I reviewed the transition I gave Kristi where I gave her the added stretch after Frog and Leg Circles. Kristi's does a beautiful controlled transition where she uses her PH to lift her bottom. Her bottom actually lifts directly over her shoulder blades and therefore there is no pressure on her neck. I could actually ask her to lift her head when her bottom is over her shoulder blades and she should be able to do it. If her bottom lifted any higher though, we would be in grave danger with that head piece up. Love hearing people practicing good safety! Thanks for the feedback:) Monica
