So one thing for you that's gonna be different than IQ other people is that I want you to keep this full in here too. So you're gonna press up into here right? At the same time for five counts. I want you to lift your stomach off of the mat. Lift it off, lift it off, lift it off, pull it into my hand pull it into my hand, scoop it off the mat and relax, again.

Pull your stomach off of the mat and lengthen that part of your neck. So there you go. So reach your head forward. Fill that little spot that we talked about. Hold it, hold it, hold it and relax.

Again, pull your stomach in. Try to get your stomach off of the mat. Hold it, hold it, hold it. And release. Now put your heels together, toes apart.

Now what you're gonna doing is you're going to put this right under your rib cage. Bring it forward, I think we need to bring it forward. Little more, good, lie down. Same position. Let the head drop.

So you see how it fills that space that we're trying to fill automatically. Okay, so the pressure on your ribs here your stomach is already off, right? So all I want you to do is to do your diaper pull the stomach in, that's it. You feel how you can open more? Yeah.

Okay, it's gonna draw you more into lower stomach, okay? Remember chest expansion this one, right. (mumbles) Good, now remember what we focused on before you got this hip is open, right?

You want to really open the hips. You're gonna draw the shoulders down and back to me and crack that walnut here. Chest expansion hold you feel that in your stomach, three, four, five and return forward. So think about that diaper action that we did, I know it's amazing that little change of where they come from. I'm here, flex your feet, flex them.

Both of them. Remember you can always flex them for you that's good 'cause you need that anyway. You sure? Yeah. Okay and lift.

Chest shoulders back, shoulders there. Hold, hold, hold, hold, hold and return. One more time. And then we'll add the head turn, pelvis forward. In, in, this is what's holding the head back and return.

And one more time, one more each way, reach down and then you're gonna squeeze here. Bring your chin to here. Center chin the other way. Let me move your head please, there. Center and return, return, arms and reach down.
