Opening the Lower Back

Today, we worked on sets 1, 2, and 8.

01. Begin at Extreme Emptiness

02. Pushing the Mountain

08. Ward Off, Pull Down

We started with a little alignment work on the upper back. I mentioned using the muscles below the shoulder blades to manage the arms and back. We spent some time on opening the ming men – the center in the lower back.

For Ward off, pull down, we paid attention to centering and keeping the hands connected.
