Teaser Prep: The Core Challenge Your Routine Has Been Missing
If you’ve been working through the Full Body Flow sequence, consider Teaser Prep your next step up. It’s a single, focused exercise that asks your abdominals and your sense of balance to work together — and it delivers. Simple in concept, humbling in practice.
Teaser Prep
Start lying on your back with your knees bent and shins parallel to the floor in a tabletop position. Inhale to prepare, then exhale as you slowly roll up through your spine, finding your balance just behind your sit bones with your legs still lifted. It’s a small, precise point of balance — and that’s exactly the point. Inhale to hold the position, staying long through the spine and steady through the core, then exhale to roll back down with control. The goal isn’t just to get up there; it’s to own every inch of the movement on the way up and the way down.
STOTT note: Resist the urge to grip or collapse. Maintain a neutral spine throughout and let your breath guide the movement. Coordination and control over momentum, always.
