Cadillac Flow

Hi, I'm Kathy Ross Nash and this is my lovely assistant Jeannette. And we're here to do the push through series that Romana used to teach one of the most beautiful things that Ramana would do with link movement so it would flow and develop during a workout. So there was no stop become poetry in motion. This exercise series is one example of how she would link movement. And what you'll see is that the student will go through flection and extension and the flection and extension will not only grow, but it will change direction and it will change body position in space and it will change where the resistance is, but it is actually the same movement pattern throughout. You Ready? Yes. Good.
