Ella Thank you for taking class! When I cue to 'scoop' I am referring to initiating the movement from the abdominals. It is a posterior tilt, however please be mindful to simultaneously find length through the tailbone so that you are not in an exaggerated posterior tilt.
Ellie T Hi Ellie! Yes the hands remain in the same position the entire time so that you articulate the spine between two fixed points. If we move our hands we can sometimes skip over the "sticky" parts of our spine!
I just found this class and will do it again. One thing I might mention is with all the instruction to keep tummy in, hip bones up and pelvis stable it is easy to stop breathing. I caught myself holding my breath more than once. So perhaps some reminders to breathe would be useful. Thank you.
