F 55 Side Split Inflection EN

Find your reclining transition, opening the legs out about 70 degrees, activating through the legs as you lower them down to the ground.

Once they’re onto the ground, continually activating the legs, pressing through the balls of the feet as you release one arm at a time forward, again initiating the movement from the shoulders.

We’re trying to keep the arms upright here as we come up first, extending through the arms drawing the shoulders down, keeping the arms up into the air, flexing the upper spine as you activate the legs forward, allowing for the spinal flexion to come forward and down.

Now the arms move with the spinal flexion forward and down, but you’re not allowing for the hands to come down to the floor.

Now if you’re feeling a little bit tight in the shoulders, you can also open the arms a little bit wider here in this movement.

Now from spinal flexion to spinal extension as you start to unravel and lift the arms move up in line with the spine again so if you feel the shoulders are tight open them out a little bit more so you can try to get that uniformity of the line of the arms in line with the spine and start to move the chest either directly upward again depending on level of flexibility you might be more upright or sort of diagonally forward and down into this movement.

Keep the neck relaxed, moving from side to side, but continually engage occasionally by extending through the back of the neck with the crown to the head forward, just checking to make sure that there’s no crooked or lifting in the neck.

As you continue to activate the legs, flex the upper spine as you start to roll back and find that sweet spot balance again where the legs come up off the floor.

As you lower the arms down to the ground bringing the legs together returning to an active reclining transition.
