It is important for the instructor to let the client move so you can see how they organize or don’t organize. This is when you can really pick up on where the imbalances lie. In Swan we typically see lots of compression in the lumbar spine, which can lead to a lot of dysfunction over time. Learn some cueing and propping techniques that can help your clients find a better Swan.

    Great pointers – thanks so much! Where did you get your small pad for the hips/pubic bone from?

    I use a squishy ball too! I tell students to “swallow” the ball with their breast bone first, folding over it with relaxed head and neck, then as they pull the mat back and lengthen through the crown, coming to a hover position, I cue to push the ball forward with their breast bone. And I do the foam roller variation too!!
