The Magic Blanket

The lesson uses a rolled towel or blanket as a support to explore spinal movement and pelvic orientation. Participants begin by rocking through the heels, then progress to lying on the prop in various orientations—lengthwise and crosswise—to differentiate the vertebrae and improve coordination of the back and pelvis.
