What to Focus On:
Deep spinal release - You should feel tension releasing throughout your entire spine
Core muscle relaxation - Allow all your core muscles to lengthen and recover
Hip and back integration - Feel the stretch working your hips and back together
Complete relaxation - This is a recovery stretch, let gravity do the work
Modifications:
Easier: Place a pillow between your knees or don't drop your knees as far
