Overview
In this lesson, we introduce lift-offs for spine flexion.
Objective
Gain understanding of how to build active control at end-range spine flexion through brief, loaded movements.
What You'll Get
What You'll Get: You'll practice lifting slightly out of a flexed position while maintaining the shape, training your spine to actively support itself at its range limit. This turns passive flexibility into usable strength. For practitioners, it means more control in poses like crow or rolling transitions. For professionals, lift-offs are a clear, effective progression for clients ready to move from static holds to dynamic, load-bearing control.
