For example, you can bring your right elbow toward your right knee, or toward your left. Each variation creates a slightly different organization of flexors in relation to extensors.<br>Placing both hands behind your head and bringing both elbows toward your knees asks for yet another form of coordination between front and back. In all these variations, you keep searching for lightness \u2014 for small changes in your contact with the floor, for the moment when the movement becomes more effortless. You keep listening for the lightest part of the movement, noticing when your back muscles and other extensors don\u2019t resist, and you return before it becomes heavy. Gradually, more harmony develops in the cooperation between your muscle groups, and the movement becomes lighter and more enjoyable.      <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10ada43 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"10ada43\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>What you may notice afterward<\/h2><p>When you sit or stand again after such a lesson, your posture often feels different, as if a new balance has been found between the front and back of your body.
