Today, in part two of The Anatomy of a Roll-Down, we’re going to cover the next key movement and how that feels when you’re doing it correctly so you can fine-tune and perfect your roll-down.

I’m excited to share this exercise with you because it’s rarely taught, or mentioned, yet it’s critical to doing a roll-down that actually works for you. Getting this right will help you avoid wasted time and effort, or creating chronic problems over time.

Today I'll show you how your Ilia, or pelvic bones, move on your sacrum and femur heads and you'll see how this makes it much easier to do your roll-down properly. You'll learn how to move your pelvic bones without using your glutes, quads, or low back which is the integral part of the roll-down that many of us are missing.

In fact, most of us forget, or never learned, how to move the pelvis using the smaller, internal muscle groups instead of the bigger muscles on the outside of the pelvis. When you let the legs “boss your pelvis around” like this you can end up with low back and pelvic problems as well as a weak roll-down that doesn't do much for you.

Once you have this movement mastered, you’ll see big improvements in your roll-down as well as the rest of your practice.

If you try this exercise out at home, I'd love to hear how it goes, especially if it felt different from what you’re used too. It can be challenging to figure out how to move the pelvis from the inside at first, so stick with it!

See you at the studio!
