XL Scoop, pivot, reach. And in how back and left up all the way. Good.

If you guys can step down and grab your boxes for the breaststroke prep on one rate, spring implies to box the long way line was your chase over the box and your hands in the same position as the shoulder push elongates through these knees, Mandy? Yes. So give us the 10% in your glutes that elbows are wide. The SCAP is reaching away from this spine, and then make sure you get your neck extension before you go into the back extension. This time on the inbreath we extend and brace away. Grace away. Rest away. Both of you can lift your online. For me, that's it.

Now draw the carriage and feel like you pulling your hands off the bar to resist the carriage in. Otherwise it's too easy and in hell, keeping that Tia active. Nice left, rich, rich, rich. Extend. Yeah, for me. And give me more psoriasis. Good goal and resist drawing the carriage back. Aim and give me neck extension. The racich good, good. Full extension of the elbows. Full extension of the elbows. Keep the collarbones.

Why draw the rebs, draw the ta and resist the movement as you lower down. We will do one more after this and we get, see one, two. There we go. Nice Mandy. Good extension through your back. Beautiful. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Breathe in. Extend your knees. Be Active in your body. You want to have the feeling in your body that you can lift one arm up without your body dropping and just the sensation in your mind, in your mind, and then the other arm lift up in your mind without dropping the body and lowering and bring the elbows and come back.

You can bring your hands onto the corner of your box. Pull your knees and we're going to do the cat stretch. To finish off, make sure your hips and knees are in line with each other. Your hands are right underneath your shoulders. We're going to inhale and on the exhale we come into this deep lumbar flection. Align the lower back to stretch, release to the neutral.

On the inhale. We come into this, the rassic extension, the lower upside down for like your hands are pulling back into my hand and back to the neutral and on the XL deep lumbar flection, drew, drew, drew, and Randy stood the neutral and extend on the inhale. Nice and one, and exhale, draw the abdominals deep. Palombo deep lumbar. Allow your body to stretch and release to the neutral and then extend the thoracic spine. Elongate without the neck collapsing and release to the neutral Weldon. You can step down to this side of your reformer. Again, we're going to finish with a roll down, so standing up nice and tool.

You should be able to feel the difference between the first roll down that we did and now so we breathe in and on the XL. Drool the ABS, lower your head and roll your bodies forward. Keep those arms relax, hanging the body down. Inhale and then engage the abdominals and roll back up. Curl up, curl up and stand tall. One more.

Inhale and excel. Draw the ABS. Roll down with a purpose as started this session, just holding it here, breathing. And then Xcel vigil pelvis initiate the movement. Then the spine moves all the way, all the way into your perfect posture. Turn parallel to the floor, active in your body for the rest of the day.

Well done guys.

I appreciated the increasing weight on the footwork and the low amount of springs on mermaid. Makes me realize I've been letting the machine work me too often.

Great communication by Tash verbal and tactile. Very useful for me with my students. Change of pace with very light springs.

Tash! As always…LOVED your class, especially the progressive springs during footwork and your cues for shoulder press and breaststroke prep since I often have a hard time getting my clients to feel what they are supposed to during those exercises. You continue to inspire and teach me! Thanks so much! What a fun journey!!!

I do wish there was a way to know which reformer the students are using in order to convert the spring colors to my own.
