The Advanced Stretching Routine builds on the Basic Stretching Routine with a series of standing stretches performed from the Position of Strength.
Sam demonstrates the backward bend, groin stretch, and forward bend while Dr. Mulry guides the movements using Soft Stomach Breathing. Dr. Mulry emphasizes stretching only to the point of mild tension and keeping the knees slightly bent during the forward bend.
A key principle in this lesson is balancing every forward bend with a backward bend. Dr. Mulry explains this in relation to the natural curves of the spine and his approach to protecting the back during movement.
