CINDY MASTRY: Namaste. My name is Cindy Mastry, and in this clip Faith is going to help me demonstrate how to do the pelvic rock. So we're going to let Faith come on down to the ground. She's going to lie on her back and she's going to take her heels right under her knees. She's just going to relax there. Good. Now we're going to work her abdominals and massage her spine at the same time, so this really feels good on your back. You always want to use your breath. So as she inhales, she's going to press her pelvic basket forward so her tailbone presses onto the ground and the small of her back lifts up off the ground. As she exhales, she pulls the small of the back down to the ground, drawing her navel into her spine and pulling her pelvic girdle forward. So it's just a gentle rock back and forth. Inhaling in, she presses the tailbone down and make sure that there's a space underneath her spine, as she exhales presses the small of the back down and pulls her pelvic basket towards her face. This is the pelvic rock, really nice to do for your lower spine. It's a nice massage. Always use your breath and honor your body.
