Bracing your legs away from you and love Jabs as you excel. Lower down. Good work you guys. We're going to do four more and we breathe in. Brace your hands into me, into me, into me and Xcel to lower down. It's still spinal articulation and we do three more in hell.

Pressing your feet into your hands and Xcel to lower down. Great work you goals. We're going to do two more and we inhale. Usual glutes, your hamstrings, press your legs are way off my hand, blindly off my hand and excel down. So one more and we inhale. Inhale, lift up. Can you give me a little bit more? This is your last exercise coming up a little bit more and XL, lower down. Release your legs, place your hands on the corner of the box, pull your knees in and set into your child's pose or your wrist position.

Just take a moment to extend your spine here. As we finish off the session, it's, I can a debrief inhale, and on the exhale, just relax your spine at your pelvis. Be Heavy. Two more inhales and exhale, and one more breath. Inhale, and on the exhale we can just roll up, make sure you don't tip off the back of your box and then steep down. And thank you for joining us today. Hope you enjoy the session and hope to see you soon.

I enjoyed much of the movement! Challenging, it brought full concentration to the movement. I felt the amount of talking that Tash used could have been minimized. However I did love her manual cueing! Nice work!
