Starting Position
Kneeling on the carriage, facing the end of the Reformer, knees against the shoulder block, hands on the frame.
Step-by-Step Flow
- Lift the knees off the carriage.
- Draw the carriage in toward the hands.
Cues for Teaching
- The shoulders stay over the wrists.
- The back stays flat, the pelvis doesn't lift too high.
- The carriage comes in from the abdominals, not from momentum.
