When we bend forward, many of us are actually shifting our pelvis and center of weight backward, and bend backward by shifting our pelvis and center of weight forward.

Many of us are holding in our pelvic diaphragm due to being instructed to pull up and tighten our core and/or to tuck our tail.

Patterns of stress and trauma are usually approached through the nervous system—it can also be helpful to drop underneath the nervous system to the circulation of our blood.

Initiating movement from the front body and the back body has very different qualities and consciousness.
