The lesson begins by focusing on the relationship between contracting the gluteal muscles and the weight distribution in the lower abdomen while face down. Participants explore lifting the head, arms, and legs in various configurations to clarify the lines of force through the spine, emphasizing ease and the reduction of unnecessary effort.
