Quadruped Spinal Segmentation
Beginner
•
5m 3s
This lesson video teaches Quadruped Spinal Segmentation - a drill designed to build true control of the spine by moving vertebrae by vertebrae, not in stiff “blocks.” The objective is to develop sharp body awareness while creating slow, deliberate spinal waves through flexion and extension. By moving as slowly as possible, you’ll expose and start to break down common hinge points - those spots where the spine locks up and one area does all the work. Done consistently, this improves spinal control, movement quality, and resilience for training and everyday life.
